4. Configuration Options

Table 4-24. Communication Port Options (4 of 5)

IP Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)

Specifies a unique IP address for accessing the unit via the COM port. Only in effect when the COM port is configured as a network communication link (Port Use option is set to Net Link).

Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.

001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the COM port, which you can view or edit.

Clear – Clears the IP address for the COM port and fills the address with zeros. When the IP Address is all zeros, the COM port uses the Node IP Address if one has been configured.

Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the subnet mask needed to access the unit. Only in effect when the COM port is configured as a network communication link (Port Use option is set to Net Link).

Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.

000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Shows the subnet mask for the COM port, which you can view or edit.

Clear – Clears the subnet mask for the COM port and fills the address with zeros. When the node subnet mask is all zeros, the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask based upon the class of the IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000.

RIP

Possible Settings: None, Standard_out

Default Setting: None

Specifies which Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used to enable routing of management data between devices.

Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.

None – No routing is used.

Standard_out – The device will send standard RIP messages to communicate routing information about other FrameSaver units in the network. Standard RIP messages received on this link are ignored.

NOTE: The router must be configured to receive RIP on the port connected to the

COM port, configured as the management interface (e.g., Cisco: config-t, router RIP, int serialx, IP RIP Receive version 1, ctl-z WR).

To create this management interface, make sure that Node or COM port IP Information has been set up (see Configuring Node IP Information on page 4-74).
