Introduction

This chapter provides procedures for changing the configuration of a remote MultiFRAD unit. Remote configuration enables a PC at one site (local site) to dial a remote MultiFRAD and change the configuration of that remote unit. Remote configuration can be accomplished either directly through the LAN or remotely using modems. To remotely configure a MultiFRAD, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the MultiFRAD software configured to call the remote MultiFRAD. The remote MultiFRAD needs to have a modem connected to a dial-up line and the Command Port. Once the connection to the remote unit is made, you can change the configuration as you see fit. Once the configuration is changed, you can down load the new configuration to the remote MultiFRAD. Refer to the Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to remotely configure a MultiFRAD.

To configure the remote MultiFRAD through the LAN, change the communication type to the IP based Trivial File Transfer Protocol (known as TFTP) and change the configuration as you see fit. Refer to the LAN-Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to configure a remote MultiFRAD.

Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure

1At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector on the back panel of the MultiFRAD.

2At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration Cable) between the Command Port connector on the MultiFRAD and the RS232 connector on the modem. The special cable is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends. Refer to Appendix A for cable details.

Connect the modem to your local telephone line.

Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration. Configure the remote modem for 19200 baud and turn on Force DTR.

3At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.

4Install the MultiFRAD software on the local PC and start the Configuration Port Setup program: Windows 3.1x: double-click the Configuration Port Setup Icon in the MultiFRAD program group. Windows 95/NT: Click Start Programs MultiFRAD 2000 Configuration Port Setup.
