HCD-E1 Installation & Operation Manual Appendix E - IR-IP Interface Module
Performing Preliminary Configuration E-5
When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on
the HCD-E1 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes
rapidly (about three times per second). The flashing of the ERR indicator also
serves as a warning to the user that the IR-IP WAN interface does not send,
nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-IP can be accessed only from
the LAN.
After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in
accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters.
To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish
communication from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.
Default IP
Communication
Parameters
The factory-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 can change the
default parameters.
E.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.
