Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Configuration
FCD-E1 Introduction 4-3
The ASCII terminal can be a standard “dumb” communication terminal or a
personal computer running a communication program that emulates an ASCII
terminal.
• System configuration used to specify the system operational parameters
needed by the FCD-E1 system to fulfill its intended function in the user’s
environment.
After performing the preliminary configuration, you can configure the FCD-E1
system using any of the following options:
 Use the terminal as a supervision terminal, for performing all the
management activities supported by the FCD-E1 system. The software
necessary to run the FCD-E1 system supervision program is contained in
FCD-E1. Moreover, FCD-E1 stores all the configuration information
generated or altered during the communication with the terminal. No
information is stored in the terminal.
 Configure the FCD-E1 system from any IP host using the Telnet protocol.
After establishing a Telnet session with the FCD-E1 system, the Telnet
protocol offers the same functionality as the supervision terminal, and in
addition enables remote access over IP networks.
Typically, the Telnet host is a PC or a UNIX station with the appropriate
suite of TCP/IP protocols. The host can be directly connected to the
managed FCD-E1 system unit using the FCD-E1 serial communication
ports. However, the host may also be located at a remote site, the only
requirement being that IP communication be established between that site
and the managed FCD-E1 system (either out-of-band, through a separate
network, or through inband channels).
 Configure the FCD-E1 system by means of SNMP-based network
management stations.
The Configuration Sequence on page 4-1 provides an outline of the FCD-E1 system
configuration activities.
During regular operation, the FCD-E1 system can be managed using any of the
options listed above for system configuration.
Checking Current Operating Configuration
This section provides instructions for displaying the current configuration
parameters (diagnostic and test functions are not included). The instructions are
presented in a step-by-step format that will help you familiarize with the use of
front panel push buttons. You may also refer to the menu structure shown in Using
the Mnemonic Mode on page 4-18 for navigation.
During the following procedure, do not press the ENTER push button, to prevent
accidental change of parameters.
