Appendix G IR-IP Interface Card Installation and Operation Manual
G-6 IR-IP Management Subsystem, General ASMi-52CD Ver. 1.0
G.4 IR-IP Management Subsystem, General
Introduction
The IR-IP card management subsystem supports the following functions:
• Preliminary configuration
• Configuration of management access parameters
• Advanced configuration of IR-IP parameters
• Collection and display of statistical performance data
• Maintenance functions, which include:
 Software downloading
 Resetting of various subsystems
 Display of error log
 Ping utility, for checking IP connectivity.
The management subsystem of the IR-IP interface module is a separate,
independent entity, and therefore it cannot be managed through the ASMi-52CD
management subsystem.
The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the
local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BASE-T, using
the Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access.
Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem
The IR-IP Ethernet card 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 factory-default set of parameters. The factory-
default parameters are automatically used:
• Before IR-IP is configured by the user, e.g., when a new ASMi-52CD with IR-IP
card is put into operation
• After the user’s configuration parameters have been erased.
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.
