Installation

Configuration

You must configure the BestLink SNMP/WEB Adapter before you can use it. There are two ways to configure the adapter:

:locally through the serial communication port

:remotely using a web browser or telnet utility

Configuring the Adapter Locally

The adapter has a configuration program that you can access by using a serial cable to connect the adapter to a terminal or a computer with a terminal emulation program.

If you choose to configure your adapter locally, see “Local Configuration” on page 7.

Configuring the Adapter Remotely

You can configure the adapter remotely through a network using a web browser or telnet utility.

NOTE Security-related parameters and some hardware parameters cannot be configured from a web browser, but can be changed from the telnet utility.

If you choose to configure your adapter remotely, see “Remote Configuration” on page 15.
