Appendix 5: Cisco Configuration Mode
Perle 833IS User Guide 295
This configuration takes affect immediately and does not require an IPL of the
833IS.
At this time you can connect to the 833IS through a Telnet session on your PC. The
front panel of the unit can be used to verify that communications between the PC and
the server are operational. A simple ping command to the unit’s IP Address will
display the following text on the front panel of the 833IS:
This text on the front panel indicates it has received 5 ping requests from the PC with
the IP Address of 172.017.006.016. If you send ping requests from the PC and do
NOT receive any replies to these requests, you can check the front panel to see
whether the 833IS received any of the ping requests. If the front panel does not
display your PC’s IP Address, then no ping requests were received and modification
to the network configuration on your PC is required in order to communicate with
the unit. However, if the unit displays the IP Address of the PC originating the ping
requests then the default gateway and/or subnet mask on the 833IS unit is incorrect.
Changes to these IP configuration parameters can be made through the front panel
for your network configuration.
Once connected to the 833IS through a Telnet session, only the necessary set of
commands are available and are listed in the help of your Telnet session by
executing the ? command.
At this time, you can download the operating firmware from the 833IS Manager or
TFTP server. For example, with a TFTP server running on the PC with IP Address
172.17.6.16, the following command will download the new firmware image file
pcc6600u.img from your PC to the flash volume on the unit:
router #copy TFTP://172.17.6.16/pcc6600u.img flash:new_firmware.img
Modification to the 833IS configuration by using various Cisco and Perle commands
can now be executed through the Command Line Interface via Telnet. Configuration
text files and versions of firmware can be stored in flash and accessed similar to
other Cisco products.
The new firmware image can now be loaded from the flash volume using the
command
router(config)# boot system flash <filename>
