6.1 Introduction
The ELS has a configuration and diagnostic interface.
The device can be configured and its current status displayed using a graphic
interface. All configuration or status data is available as MIB objects and can be
modified and displayed within the graphic user interface.
The ELS has the following configuration functions:
● Configuration of the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway using the
Primary Setup Tool (PST).
● Reset of all values to the factory settings using the PST.
● Configuration of E-mail and trap recipients.
● Configuration of individual events that will trigger the sending of E-mails and/or
traps.
The ELS has the following diagnostic functions:
● Display of the current status of the ports (link up/down, transmission rate, and
duplicity).
● Display of the MAC address, the IP address, the subnet mask, the gateway,
and the type of configuration (manual or using DHCP).
● Trap and E-mail monitoring unit: Cold start events and status changes at the
port can be sent to E-mail and/or trap recipients.
● Display of statistical values of errors that have occurred on the network and that
were detected by the ELS (CRC, defective frames, collisions etc.).
● Display of the system up time and the hardware and firmware version.
