Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module B.1 Introduction Overview IR-IP is a high-performance, miniature IP router based on RAD's unique IP router chip, the Chip Router. IR-IP has a 10BaseT (UTP) interface and complies with IEEE 802.3. The router interface operates in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode. IR-IP filters the traffic, in accordance with the IP address of each packet, and forwards only packets with foreign addresses through the WAN link.
Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Installation and Operation Manual Application Figure B-1 shows a typical application of the ASMi-52 unit equipped with the IR-IP interface module. Figure B-1. Typical Application of the ASMi-52 Unit with IR-IP B.

Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module B.
Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Installation and Operation Manual 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.
Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Connecting the Telnet Host Before starting the management and configuration activities, it is necessary to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and the IR-IP interface module. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a communication path. Because of the method used to assign an IP address to IR-IP Ethernet port, it is recommended to connect the Telnet host directly to the IP router 10BaseT connector.
Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Note Installation and Operation Manual To use the IP learning mechanism, you do not need to know the current address of IR-IP LAN interface, but only the prescribed IP address. The IP address is actually retrieved from the ARP frames sent during pinging to locate the ping destination, not from the ping frames.
Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module 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. 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.
Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Installation and Operation Manual Starting a Management Utility The management utility is started automatically when Telnet communication is established. If password protection is enabled (see the Defining Management Access section below), you will be prompted to enter the Telnet password.
