ASM-60Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module

 

 

Default IP Communication Parameters

The default IP communication parameters of the interface module are:

The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252.

The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address 192.168.205.2. Therefore, as long as the factory defaults are in effect, you must assign this address to the Telnet host used to configure IR-IP.

Using the IP learning mechanism, as explained below you can change the default parameters.

Note In the default configuration, the IR-IP WAN interface is disabled. In order to enable the WAN interface, you have to modify the Ethernet port address or the IP subnet mask.

C.5 Performing Preliminary Configuration

General

The software necessary for performing all the management and configuration functions is stored in the IR-IP interface module, and therefore you only need a regular Telnet host to perform all the activities described in this appendix.

A Telnet host is any computer, e.g., an IBM PC or compatible that fulfills the following minimum requirements:

A standard 10BaseT Ethernet interface

A TCP/IP protocol stack, and therefore is capable of supporting IP communication through the Ethernet interface

Telnet client software

A ping utility.

Outline of Preliminary Configuration

To perform the preliminary configuration procedure:

1.Connect the Telnet host to the IR-IP interface module.

2.Configure the Telnet host to enable communication with the IR-IP interface module using the default IP parameters.

3.Establish communication with IR-IP and assign the prescribed IP address to its LAN interface.

4.Establish again communication with IR-IP and continue the preliminary configuration in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below.
