5-20 2E43-51/2E43-51R User’s Guide
Application (Toggle)
Allows the user to set the application that the COM port supports. The
field toggles between LM (Local Management) and UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply).
The UPS setting allows the COM port to be used to monitor an American
Power Conversion (APC) Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
The baud rate setting for LM is automatically sensed. For UPS, the baud
rate is automatically set to 2400.
The default setting is LM. For details about how to configure the COM
port for various applications, refer to Section 5.7.10.
Clear NVRAM (Toggle)
Allows the user to reset NVRAM to the factory default settings. All
user-entered parameters, such as IP address and Community Names, are
then replaced with 2E43-51 default configuration settings. For details,
refer to Section 5.7.11.
IP Fragmentation (Toggle)
Allows the user to enable or disable IP Fragmentation. The default setting
for this is field is ENABLED. If the 2E43-51 is to be bridged to an FDDI
ring, IP Fragmentation must be enabled. If IP Fragmentation is disabled,
all FDDI frames that exceed the maximum Ethernet frame size are
discarded. For details on enabling IP Fragmentation, refer to
Section 5.7.12.
5.7.1 Setting the IP Address
To set the IP address, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.
2. Enter the IP address into this field using Dotted Decimal Notation
(DDN) format.
For example: 134.141.79.120
3. Press ENTER. If the IP address is a valid format, the cursor returns to
the beginning of the IP address field. If the entry is not valid, the screen
displays the message “INVALID IP ADDRESS OR FORMAT
ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value and
refreshes the IP address field with the previous value.
