3-2 DL600E E1 Data Multiplexer UserÕs Guide
This chapter describes how to conÞgure the DL600E unit using its terminal
interface.
D Note: The DL600E unit can be partially conÞgured from the
front panel, which is the same as conÞguring from a
terminal. Instructions for using the front panel to conÞgure
the DL600E unit is found in Chapter 5, Using the Front
Panel Interface.
Preparing to ConÞgure
During the initial DL600E conÞguration you must:
¥ ConÞgure the Comm port from the front panel (if a terminal
or
SNMP manager is to monitor the unit)
¥ Set the DL600E IP address, IP subnet mask to establish a Telnet
connection to the
DL600E unit
¥ Set up to three Trap NMS IP addresses and community strings
in
Menu-0 SNMP ConÞg to use an SNMP workstation
You must also perform the initial conÞguration of the unit
ID and Comm
Port from the front panel. The
IP addresses and mask are conÞgured from
the terminal interface.
Keeping a Record
We suggest you keep a written record of each unitÕs conÞguration. Use the
Configuration Worksheet provided at the end of Appendix A.
Connecting an ASCII Terminal
To use the terminal interface, you must first conÞgure the Comm Port
from the
front panel of the DL600E unit. Refer to Chapter 5 for
information on how to conÞgure the
DL600E unit with the front panel.
Connect a terminal to the
DL600E Comm Port either directly, through a
terminal server, or through a modem.
Before you connect the terminal, make sure the baud rate, parity bit,
word length and stop bit settings on the terminal or modem
match the
DL600E settings.
