Setting the IP Address
The IP address is the address used by the SNMP or Telnet system to access the
DSU/CSU (see Appendix F,

IP Network Addressing Scenarios

). For DSU/CSUs
using PPP, the IP address can be negotiated if the network device (e.g., router or
SNMP manager) supports such negotiation. The IP address is composed of four
fields with three digits per field (

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

).
The IP address is set for the MODEM port, the COM port, or the AUX port (with
LAN Adapter or daisy chain), depending on which one has been chosen as the
SNMP or Telnet communication link. The example below assumes that an IP
address of 010.155.111.222 is being set for the COM port. You can use the same
principles to assign any value (between 000 and 255 for each digit field) to other
ports.
Procedure
To assign an IP address to the COM port:
1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.
2. Select the configuration option set to be copied into the Edit area by using the
appropriate Function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary.
3. Select Edit.
4. From the Edit screen, press the key until the Mgmt selection appears on
