Configuring EthIR LAN

Introduction

Please read through this section of the User Guide before performing any configurations. This section describes how to:

1.Configure the EthIR Switch.

2.Use the CSI Configuration Tool.

Each step is described in the following sections.

Configure EthIR Switch

The EthIR Switch requires configuration to support handheld PCs running “PPP over IR” (hereinafter called “IR/PPP Devices”) such as Windows CE devices, Palm Organizers (IIIx, IIIxe, V, Vx, and VII), and Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP notebooks running ClarinetIR™ or Direct Cable Connection (DCC). Configuration is also needed to manage the Switch using SNMP (the EthIR Switch supports up to four SNMP managers), or update the Switch’s firmware. In these cases you must specify an IP address for the Switch using the CSI Configuration Tool if you are to interact with an existing network. A complete description of the Tool and instructions on setting the Switch IP address follows:

CSI Configuration Tool

The CSI Configuration Tool provides a way to do setup and firmware upgrades for Clarinet Switches.

The following requirements must be met to use the Configuration Tool:

9A Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP PC or notebook with TCP/IP protocol installed (described in Binding TCP/IP Protocol for Notebook section in

APPENDIX A).

The Tool can run on a PC with an Ethernet adapter or infrared port**. If the Tool is running on a PC using Ethernet, the PC’s Ethernet adapter must be connected to an Ethernet network which the EthIR Switch should also be connected to. If the Tool is running on a notebook using infrared, the notebook can be connected to the EthIR

**infrared port option is not available for Windows NT.
