Chapter 5: Local Management

5.15.4 Setting the TFTP Gateway IP Address

If the network TFTP server is located on a different IP subnet than the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25, a Gateway IP address should be specified. To set the TFTP Gateway IP address, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the TFTP Gateway IP Address field.

2.Enter the IP address of the TFTP gateway using the DDN format. For example: 134.141.80.122

3.Press ENTER. If the TFTP gateway IP address entered is a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning of the TFTP Gateway IP Address field. If the entry is not valid, the Event Message Line displays “INVALID TFTP GATEWAY IP ADDRESS OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value, but it does refresh the TFTP Gateway IP Address field with the previous value.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command.

5.Press ENTER. The Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”.

5.15.5 Setting the Module Date

The modules are year 2000 compliant, so the module date may be set beyond the year 1999. To set the module date, perform the following steps:

NOTE

If the 6C105 chassis has been assigned a chassis date, it is not necessary to assign a module date to the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25. All installed modules recognize the chassis date of the 6C105.

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Module Date field.

2.Enter the date in an MM/DD/YYYY format.

NOTE

It is not necessary to add separators between month, day, and year numbers. For example, to set the date to 03/17/1997, type “03171997” in the Module Date field.
