Configuring Node IP Information

Select Node IP to display, add, or change the information necessary to support general IP communications for the node (see Table 3-31, Node IP Options). When deploying units to remote sites, minimally configure the Node IP Address and Subnet Mask.

Main Menu→ Configuration→Management and Communication→Node IP

This set of configuration options includes a Troubleshooting (TS) Management Access Link feature to help service providers isolate device problems within their networks. This feature allows Telnet or FTP access to the unit on this link. Troubleshooting over this link is essentially transparent to customer operations. No alarms or SNMP traps are generated to create nuisance alarms for the customer.

TS_Access_Management_Link is initially disabled in most models, but the link can be enabled at any time. Any valid network Management PVC created on a standard DLCI can be used. When enabled, a troubleshooting link can be accessed any time the service provider requests access. An assigned security level can also control access.

When a DLCI has been defined as the troubleshooting management link, the link is identified in the status field at the bottom of the Management PVC Entry screen with the Note: This PVC has been designated as the TS Access Management Link message.

NOTE:

The unit may come from the factory with a TS Management PVC already set up (e.g., 980).

Table 3-31. Node IP Options (1 of 4)

Node IP Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)

Specifies the IP address needed to access the node. Since an IP address is not bound to a particular port, it can be used for remote access via a management PVC.

001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the node, which can be viewed or edited.

Clear – Fills the node IP address with zeros.
