11.2.2.2SATELLITE/HDLC INTERFACE (HDL1) PAGE
The Satellite/HDLC Interface (hdl1) page is activated from the Interface Configuration page.
The Satellite/HDLC Interface page contains the following options/fields:
Menu Options/Fields | Entry | Description |
IP Address | I | Specifies the IP Address assigned to the Satellite |
|
| Interface of the CiM. |
|
| The only requirement of the Satellite IP Address is that |
|
| it not be on the same subnet as the Ethernet Interface |
|
| and that it is on the same subnet as the IP address |
|
| assigned to the Satellite interface of the CiM on the |
|
| other side of the Satellite link. |
|
| Since the only devices communicating on the HDLC |
|
| link are a other CiMs, the Satellite IP address can |
|
| usually be an arbitrary address assigned to many |
|
| different systems. However, because of the possibility |
|
| of conflict with an assigned Ethernet IP Address or the |
|
| IP Address of a defined route, the user can select this |
|
| value. |
|
| If a PC is attached to the subnet of the Ethernet |
|
| Interface of the CiM, then that PC will be able to ping |
|
| CiM via its Satellite IP address if the following |
|
| command is executed from a DOS prompt on that PC. |
|
| Route add <Satellite_IP_Address> mask |
|
| 255.255.255.255 <Ethernet_MAC_Address> |
|
| where the Satellite_IP_Address and Ethernet MAC |
|
| Address refer to the respective settings of the CiM. |
|
| Enter the ip address in aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd format |
|
|
|
Subnet Mask | M | Specifies the Subnet Mask assigned to the Satellite |
|
| Interface of the CiM. |
|
| Enter the subnet mask prefix length (8..30) |
|
|
|
RX – Enable/Disable | R | Toggles [Enabled] and [Disabled] |
