Using the Main Configuration Screen
To log onto the unit through the serial port, connect a PC to the Mini FiberLinX-II
using the included adapter. Set the computer or terminal for VT-100 emulation, and
apply the following communication settings:
 38.4K baud
 8 data bits
 1 stop bit
 No parity
 No FlowControl
Enter the User Name and Password as
admin (the default setting) when connecting
through Telnet/HyperTerminal. We recommend setting a new User Name and
Password after signing on for the first time.
Assign the Mini FiberLinX-II an IP address before using a Telnet session (the default
IP address is 10.10.10.10). All configurations performed using the serial port can also
be performed using Telnet. Multiple accounts can be assigned with individual
names and passwords.
Each account can be assigned one of the following authority roles:
Setting Description
User This role can only see status, change a password, and reboot.
Operator This role can perform User role functions and change settings.
Administrator This role can perform Operator role functions, add or delete
accounts, and use the “cleandb” command. Account access through
the serial port is at the Administrators level (default).
DHCP
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) is disabled by default, but can be enabled to
allow for the use of dynamic IP addresses.
DHCP Disable (Static IP Addressing)
DHCP is disabled in the default configuration. Initially, modules are assigned a
static default IP address of 10.10.10.10. Changes to the static IP address can be added
manually through iConfig, an RS-232 Serial session, or Telnet. The changes will be
initiated following reboot of the module.
DHCP Enable (Dynamic IP Addressing)
If a DHCP server is present on the network and DHCP is enabled, the DHCP client
will initiate a dialogue with the server during the boot-up sequence. The server will
then issue an IP address to the management card. Once the new IP address is
received, the SNMP Management Module will reboot so that the new IP address will
take effect.
