Network and Communication Setup
This section describes OAT100R communication options for configuration purposes.
Note: Before you proceed with any additional configuration, the system should be installed and operating as described in the system installation procedure on pages 16 to 21.
Also note that configuration updates periodically require that you reset the OAT100R. Make sure to reset the unit when directed to do so.
There are three options for communicating with the OAT100R.
•When the OAT100R is connected to an IP network, you can use a standard Internet browser to communicate with the OAT100R via a graphical user interface (GUI).
•When the OAT100R is connected to an IP network, you can also use an SSH client to communicate with the OAT100R via a command line interface.
•To establish a direct connection to the OAT100R, connect a PC to the serial port on the OAT100R using the FTDI
Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, configure the serial port as follows:
−−Bits per second/baud = 115200 −−Data bits = 8
−−Parity = None −−Stop bits = 1 −−Flow Control = None
OAT100R configuration options via web GUI are described on pages 23 to 38; OAT100R configuration options via command line are described on pages 39 to 67. For security and control purposes, some options available from the command line menus are not available from the GUI.
You will need to know the “admin” user password in order to log in to either the web GUI or the command line interface. The default admin user password is “Password4Partners” (case- sensitive). If necessary, for example, if the password has been changed from its default value, consult the system administrator to obtain the current admin user password.
Note: The default network setting for the OAT100R is DHCP, in which case the server assigns an IP address to the OAT100R. If necessary, consult the network administrator to obtain the IP address that has been assigned to the OAT100R.
Note: If you want to connect the PC directly to the OAT100R Control Port using an Ethernet CAT5E cable, in order to establish communication you must first connect the PC to the OAT100R Service Port and set the OAT100R’s IP address (see “Configure the Control Port” on page 52). The OAT100R’s IP address must be on the same subnet as the PC’s IP address.
