3.0 CONFIGURATION

This section describes the location and orientation of the Model 3088RC’s conÞguration switches and jumpers, and provides detailed instructions for all possible settings. Each 3088RC model has different conÞguration requirements, depending on the card’s serial interface.

You can conÞgure the 3088RC using either the software (CLI via a 1001CC port) or the hardware (via DIP switches).

3.1 ABOUT SOFTWARE (CLI) CONFIGURATION

To use software conÞguration you must set DIP switches S1 and S2 to the ON position, and set DIP Switch S3 to the management address, before powering-up the RocketLink-G. When DIP switches S1 and S2 are set to ON, the RocketLink-G will operate in software-conÞguration mode. When set for software-conÞguration mode the RocketLink-G will read any conÞguration data previously saved to FLASH memory during system power-up. If no conÞguration data was previously saved to FLASH, then the RocketLink-G will load the factory-default conÞguration from FLASH memory. After power-up, you may use console commands or the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) to modify the conÞguration parameters.

3.2 ABOUT HARWARE (DIP SWITCH) CONFIGURATION

To use DIP-switch conÞguration you must Þrst set the DIP switches to a position other than all OFF or all ON before powering-up the RocketLink- G. When all the DIP switches are set to any position other than all OFF or all ON the RocketLink-G will operate in hardware (DIP-switch)-conÞg- uration mode. In DIP-switch-conÞguration mode the RocketLink-G will read the DIP-switch settings during system startup and conÞgure itself according to the switch settings.

Once you power-up the RocketLink-G in DIP-switch mode it will operate in DIP-switch mode until powered down. When operating in DIP-switch mode you cannot change any conÞguration settings:

•Changing the DIP switch settings while the device is running will not modify the operating conÞguration because the RocketLink-G only reads the DIP switches during system startup.

•If you attempt to modify the conÞguration by issuing console com- mands, the device will not execute your commands. Instead, the Rock- etLink-G will respond with a message indicating the device is operating in DIP-switch-conÞguration mode.
