Starting inband configuration using ELSA LANconfig

After the installation (double-click on 'autorun.exe') is complete, call up the ELSA LANconfig configuration tool, for example by clicking on Start E Programs E ELSAlan

EELSA LANconfig in the Windows task bar. ELSA LANconfig searches the local area network for ELSA MicroLink Cable devices.

Just click on the Find button or call up the command with Device E Find to initiate a search for a new device manually. ELSA LANconfig will then prompt you for a location to search. You will only need to specify the local area network if using the inband solution, and then you're off.

Once ELSA LANconfig has finished its search, it displays a list of all the devices it has found, together with their names and a description if available, the IP address and its status.

Double-clicking the entry for the highlighted device and then clicking the Configure button or the Edit E Edit Configuration File option reads the device's current settings and displays the general device information.

The remainder of the program's operation is essentially self-explanatory or covered in the online help. You can click on the question mark top right in any window or right-click on an unclear term at any time to call up context-sensitive help.

Start up inband configuration using telnet

Start inband configuration using telnet with the command from a DOS box:

telnet 10.1.80.125

Telnet will then establish a connection with the device using the IP address.

After the entry of the password (if you specified one to protect the settings) all commands from the 'Configuration Commands' section are available.
