Configuration Menu
▲ If the aging time is set to too short a time span,
problem nodes may time out and be dropped
from the Node Summary table. You may have to
experiment with the setting to find out what
works best for your network.
Console Password
Use to set the password for the terminal interface connection.
The password is case-sensitive, and it can be up to 20 charac-
ters. You’re prompted for this password when you choose the
Configuration menu from the Asanté Remote Management Sys-
tem Main menu. The default password is
Asante.
Telnet Idle Timeout
Use to set the length of idle time, in whole minutes, before Tel-
net closes the current connection. The default is 20 minutes.
To keep Telnet from timing out at all, set the idle time to zero
minutes.
Reset EEPROM on NMM Module to Default
Use to set user-defined settings for the NMM Lite to their
default values. The hub name, hub contact, hub location, dial
string, and boot file name fields become blank, and the boot
server IP address is set to all zeros. These changes occur imme-
diately.
The hub IP address, subnet mask, and default router IP address
are set to all zeros. Console Password is set back to its default,
which is
Asante. Telnet Idle Timeout is also set back to its
default, which is 20 minutes. These changes occur on hub
restart.
Reset EEPROM on All Repeater Module(s) to Default
Use to set port parameters—Port Connection, Link Test, and
Auto Polarity Correction—to the default value, which is
Enabled. These changes occur immediately.
Reset System
Use to send an immediate Reset command to the hub, causing
a soft reset. Terminal communication is lost briefly, then auto-
matically reestablished. If you’re using Telnet, the connection
is closed.
Exit Configuration Menu
Use to leave the Configuration menu and go back to the Asanté
Remote Management System Main menu.
