Controller Remote Management and Troubleshooting

4.1 Remote Management of the Controller

The controller can be managed locally through the RS-232 interface, or remotely via Telnet. The Administrative Utility is the same regardless of the management interface (RS-232 or Telnet).

The controller supports SNMP and allows the system to be remotely monitored.

4.1.1Network Connection

Connect the Telnet port on the back of the controller to your Ethernet network (Figure 4–1).Then set the IP addresses, login names, and passwords as described below.

NOTE : Currently, the controller does not support network configuration protocols such as DHCP or

BOOTP.

4.1.2Network Interface Set Up

For first time set up, you will need to connect to the CLI (RS-232) port in order to change the IP address and/or network settings.

To set up the network interface:

1.Use the NETWORK command to display the current settings (Figure 4–2).

2.Change the controller’s IP address for your network environment: network IP=<new IP address>.

3.Change the netmask of the controller (if needed): network netmask=<new netmask>.

4.Enable the Telnet capability (if needed): network telnet=ON.
