Configuring the Remote Unit

Assign the Unit Name

1Enter CO SYS to display the System Parameters screen.

Configure the Ethernet Port

Changing the IP address during the remote management session causes the session to be disconnected when the new IP address is submitted. This is normal.

1Enter CO PO to display the Port Configuration screen.

2Select the LAN1 port using the Arrow keys and enter ED to display the Edit Ethernet Port screen.

3Type the IP address assigned to the unit in the Port IP Address field. The IP address must be exactly the same as that used to configure the central site unit ISDN Autocall table.

4Type a valid subnet mask for the network in the Port IP Mask field.

5Type a number between 6 and 10 in the Port Hop Count field. Increasing this setting from the default may help to prevent routing problems, in some cases.

6Press [Ctrl]+[E] to submit the new setting.

Submitting the IP address causes the remote management session to disconnect immediately.

7Press [Ctrl]+[D] to return to the central site unit management screens.

8Enter REM to display the Remote Units screen and press [Ctrl]+[V] to refresh the screen.
