4: Using Setup Mode for Configuration

configure one of the configurable pins to RS485_TXEN. To change the configurable pins’ settings, use DeviceInstaller or send setup records to port 77FE.

Security Settings

You can change security settings via Telnet or serial connections only, not on the Web-Manager. We recommend that you set security over the dedicated network or over the serial setup. If you set parameters over the network (Telnet 9999), someone else could capture these settings.

Caution: Disabling both Telnet Setup and Port 77FE will prevent users from accessing the setup menu from the network. Disabling Port 77FE also disables the Web from configuring the device.

Figure 4-9. Security Settings

Disable SNMP

This setting allows you to disable the SNMP protocol on the unit for security reasons.

SNMP Community Name

This setting allows you to change the SNMP community name. Community name is a required field for NMS to read or write to a device. The default setting is public. The name is a string of 1 to 13 characters.

Disable Telnet Setup

Note: If you choose to disable this option, keep in mind that disabling both Telnet Setup and Port 77FE will prevent users from accessing the setup menu from the network.

This setting defaults to the N (No) option. The Y (Yes) option disables access to Setup Mode by Telnet (port 9999). It only allows access locally via the web pages and the serial port of the unit.
