C-8 Performing Preliminary Configuration ASMi-31 Ver. 3.0
Assigning a LAN IP Address to a New IR-IP
The following procedure enables you to configure the LAN IP address of a new
IR-IP router, i.e., a router using the default parameters (see the
Accessing the IR-
IP Management Subsystem
section above).
If ASMi-31 is already operating, skip Step 2 in the following procedure.
 To configure the IP router LAN address:
1. Make sure the preparations described above have been completed, including
the configuration of the
ping utility.
2. Turn ASMi-31 on and monitor the IP router indicators:
 The INT indicator turns on
 The ERR indicator lights steadily for approx. 15 seconds, and then starts
flashing at a rapid rate (about three times per second).
If the ERR indicator turns off, skip to the
What to Do If ... section below.
3. Set section 1 of IR-IP DIP switch to ON.
The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a
second).
4. Send a
ping to the new address to be used by IR-IP. A confirmation should be
received after the third
ping : after the confirmation, the flashing will slow
down to approximately twice a second.
If your host does not begin to receive
ping replies after three unsuccessful
attempts, skip to the
What to Do If ... section below.
5. Return section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to the OFF position.
The ERR indicator must turn off.
At this stage, the communication with IR-IP router is lost, because its IP address
has been changed. Therefore, you must reconfigure the destination IP address of
the Telnet host. If you wish, you may also change the temporary IP address
assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address.
After changing the destination IP address of the Telnet host, it is recommended
to turn ASMi-31 off for a few seconds and then back on, before continuing the
configuration of the IP router in accordance with the
Quick Setup Menu section
below. At this time, in Step 2 the ERR indicator turns off after the 15-second
interval.
Changing the LAN IP Address of a Configured IR-IP
The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it
operates, this means it is not necessary to turn ASMi-31 off before starting the
configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will
be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address.
To change the LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP, use the procedure
described above for a new IR-IP with the following differences:
