Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module
ASMi-31 Ver. 3.0 IR-IP Management Subsystem, General C-5
Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem
The IR-IP interface module must be configured in accordance with the specific
requirements of the user’s application before it can be used in the user’s
network. As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-
IP to start service without any preliminary configuration.
Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure
IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a default set of parameters. The default parameters
are automatically used:
• Before the IP router is configured by the user, e.g., when a new ASMi-31 with
IR-IP interface module is put into operation
• After the user’s configuration parameters have been erased.
When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on the
ASMi-31 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes rapidly
(about three times per second).
The flashing of the ERR indicator also serves as a warning to the user that the IR-
IP WAN interface does not send, nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-IP
can be accessed only from the LAN.
After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in
accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters.
To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish
communication from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.
Default IP Communication Parameters
The default IP communication parameters of the interface module are:
• The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the
default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252.
• The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address
192.168.205.2. Therefore, as long as the factory defaults are in effect, you
must assign this address to the Telnet host used to configure IR-IP.
Using the IP learning mechanism, as explained below you can change the default
parameters.
In the default configuration, the IR-IP WAN interface is disabled. In order to
enable the WAN interface, you have to modify the Ethernet port address or the IP
subnet mask.
