Appendix D IR-IP Interface Module RIC-E1 Installation and Operation Manual
D-8 Performing Preliminary Configuration
Rescue Configuration
In case you have forgotten the IP address or the Telnet password, you will
generally not be able to view or modify the IR-IP configuration. The Rescue feature
allows you to overcome this problem.
To allow the IR-IP configuration:
1. Remove RIC-E1/R from the chassis.
2. Set section 6 of the DIP switch to ON.
3. Insert RIC-E1/R back into the chassis.
As soon as RIC-E1/R is powered on, it will respond to the default IP address
and permit entering configuration screens without password protection. All
the other configuration parameters remain unchanged.
4. After setting the parameters to desired values, remove RIC-E1/R from the
chassis and restore section 6 of the DIP switch to OFF.
D.5 Performing Preliminary Configuration 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.
