Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module

ASM-60Installation and Operation Manual

 

 

After changing the destination IP address of the Telnet host, it is recommended to turn ASM-60 off for a few seconds and then back on, before continuing the configuration of the IP router in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below. At this time, in Step 2 the ERR indicator turns off after the 15-second interval.

Changing the LAN IP Address of a Configured IR-IP

The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it operates, this means it is not necessary to turn ASM-60 off before starting the configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address.

To change the LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP, use the procedure described above for a new IR-IP with the following differences:

1.Configure the destination address of the ping utility to the new LAN interface IP address. It is not necessary to change the Telnet host source address.

2.When ready, set section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to ON.

The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second). 3. Perform Steps 4, 5 of the procedure used for a new IR-IP.

What to Do If ...

The INT indicator does not light immediately after ASM-60 is turned on

The IR-IP interface module does not receive power from the ASM-60 power supply. Service is required.

Note After the power-up process ends, the INT indicator shows LAN integrity. It may stay turned off without indicating power supply failure.

The ERR indicator does not light immediately after ASM-60 is turned on

IR-IP is faulty and must be replaced.

After turn-on, the ERR indicator lights for 15 seconds and then turns off. ACT does not light, and there is no response from IR-IP

No software loaded into IR-IP. Download software using the procedure described in the New Software Download Menu section below.

After turn-on, the ERR indicator lights for 15 seconds, and then turns off. ACT lights from time to time, but there is no response from IR-IP

IR-IP has been configured. If you do not know the current IP address of the LAN interface, erase IR-IP router configuration using the procedure given in the Erasing User’s Configuration section below.

No ping replies from IR-IP

If your host does not begin to receive ping replies after three unsuccessful attempts, check the physical connection path between the Telnet host Ethernet interface and the IR-IP 10BASE-T connector.

The IP learning process is not successful

Check that the prescribed IP address does not appear in the ARP table.
