Configuring the Chassis
Once the new IP address is received, the SNMP Management Module will reboot so
that the new IP address will take effect.
Refer to Serial Port Configuration (on page
9) for enable/disable information. If
there is no DHCP server on the network, use iConfig or serial configuration to
manually set the IP addresses.
When DHCP is enabled, the default IP address (10.10.10.10) or the IP address
assigned, is saved. When DHCP is disabled, the saved IP address will be reinstated
and the chassis will reboot.
DHCP servers give out lease times: devices renew their leases based on the
administrator-specified time. If a chassis cannot renew its lease, and the lease
expires, the device will be given the IP address 10.10.10.10 and reboot.
iConfig
iConfig is an in-band configuration utility (PrismaView) that lets users quickly and
easily complete the first stages of SNMP configuration for SNMP-manageable
devices. iConfig can set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway as well as
define the community strings and SNMP traps.
In addition to the above functions, iConfig offers an authorized IP address system
and access restriction to MIB groups supported by manageable devices. These extra
layers of security are purely optional and do not affect SNMP compatibility.
The iConfig utility can also be used to upload new versions of the system software
and new MIB information. It also offers diagnostic capabilities for faster resolution
of technical support issues.
The default user ID for both iConfig and Telnet is: User: admin / Password: admin
The iConfig utility works with the following platforms:
 Windows 98
 Windows NT
 Windows 2000
 Windows XP
The iConfig utility is available as a standalone application as well as built in to the
Windows version of PrismaView (Windows 98 users must use the standalone
version of the iConfig utility). Both applications are included on the PrismaView
CD. For information regarding the use of the iConfig utility, refer to the iConfig
utility help file.
The three levels of Telnet account access are:
User Can only see status, change password and reboot.
Operator Can perform User functions and change settings.
