3.7.2.5 Logging Into the IDU Using CarrierWave iConductor

Use the following procedure to log into an IDU using CarrierWave iConductor

1. On your desktop, click the Start button and select Programs. Then click on the MS-DOS

Prompt icon.

2. In the MS-DOS window, type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP

address of the IDU) and press enter.

3. If the ping is successful, the following message will appear: Reply from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:

bytes=a. time=b ms, TTL=c. Refer to Figure 3-17 for an example of a ping. A successful

ping implies that the IDU and the PC can communicate with one another across an Ethernet

connection.

4. Close the MS-DOS prompt window.

5. Using the Windows Programs->CarrierComm->vX-XX->IC menu (or the appropriate menu or

icon), start up the iConductor

application.

6. Select the IDU that you wish to login to from the drop-down menu (see Figure 3-18). If there

is not a network element for that IDU, simply select any IDU icon

Note: If there is not an IDU icon, one must be added. To add an IDU icon, use the

Network drop-down menu and select Add. Refer to IDU iConductor
