The management subsystem of the IR-IP interface module is a separate, independent entity. The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BASE-T, using the Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access.
Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem
The IR-IP interface module must be configured in accordance with the specific requirements of the user’s application before it can be used in the user’s network. As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-IP to start service without any preliminary configuration.
Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a factory-default set of parameters. The default parameters are automatically used:
•Before IR-IP is configured by the user, e.g., when a new RIC-E1 with IR-IP interface module is put into operation
•After the user’s configuration parameters have been erased.
When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on the RIC-E1 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes rapidly (about three times per second). The flashing of the ERR indicator also serves as a warning to the user that the IR-IP WAN (E1) interface does not send, nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-IP can be accessed only from the LAN.
After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters.
To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish communication from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.
Default IP Communication Parameters
The factory-default IP communication parameters of the interface module are:
•The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252.
•The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address 192.168.205.2. Therefore, as long as the factory defaults are in effect, you must assign this address to the Telnet host used to configure IR-IP.
Using the IP learning mechanism, as explained below you can change the default parameters.
