5. Configuring the RangeLAN2 7500
You need to configure the RangeLAN2 7500 if:
❑ There is more than one RangeLAN2 7500 on this
network, for example in a roaming environment
❑ You need to change the software default values, includ-
ing IP addresses
❑ You want to set security IDs on your network
There are three ways to configure the RangeLAN2 7500:
❑ Locally via a null modem cable and the RangeLAN2
7500 software
❑ Remotely across the network using the RangeLAN2
7500 software
❑ Using an SNMP management package
Locally (Out-of-band)
You may use the DB-9 Local Management Port on the back of
the RangeLAN2 7500 to configure the RangeLAN2 7500. To
locally configure the RangeLAN2 7500, you need a female to
female null modem RS-232 cable and a DOS-based PC with an
available serial port.
