4 Configuration and Diagnostics
The modular managed switch system offers several user interfaces for accessing
configuration and diagnostic data. The preferred interfaces are the web interface and
SNMP interface. These two interfaces can be used to make all the necessary settings and
request all information.
Access via Telnet/V.24 (RS-232) interface only enables access to basic information.
However, the V.24 (RS-232) interface also enables firmware update via XMODEM in the
event of faulty firmware.
4.1 Factory Manager
4.1.1 General Function
The integration of the MMS in the Factory Manager provides optimum support for
configuration and management.
4.1.2 Assigning IP Parameters
Once you have established all the necessary connections and Factory Manager has been
started, start the MMS or execute a reset.
Following the boot phase, the MMS sends the BootP requests, which are received by the
Factory Manager and displayed in the message window. If you are operating other devices
in the same network, messages from these devices may also be displayed. Messages from
Phoenix Contact Factory Line components can be easily identified by their MAC address,
which starts with 00.A0.45... and is provided on the devices.
Settings are not automatically saved permanently. The active configuration can be saved
permanently by selecting "Save current configuration" on the "Configuration
Management" web page.
Only one of several options for assigning IP parameters using Factory Manager 2.2 is
described here.
Please check the MAC address in the messages to ensure the correct device is
addressed.
