USER GUIDE
FTP server – is required to transfer firmware and configuration from distribution media to
Access/One Network modules. Software distribution via an FTP server relies on user accounts
to maintain security. Access/One Network modules are capable of specifying a user name and
password (including anonymous) to log into an FTP server. Directory access may be
configurable based on the FTP server software, so Access/One Network related files may be
available only to Access/One Network modules. TFTP is not currently supported.
Examples of FTP servers are: Windows 200X Server, Linux, Sun OS, and many shareware /
freeware implementations.
Internet browser – Access/One Network and Manager/One are supported in Windows
Internet Explorer v6.0 and above.
Single/Multiple Subnet – Access/One Network uses broadcast and multicast packets to
maintain management connectivity. If subnet space is an issue, using NAT (Network Address
Translation) at the Access/One Network boundary and specifying a class B subnet should be
sufficient. A global network may present an unavoidable multi-network configuration which
may be managed by specifying an IP address of an Access/One Network Server in each subnet
as described later in this guide.
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) – may be used to provide primary or backup power to the
Access/One Network Nodes. If you want to use the PoE feature, PoE injectors or PoE
enabled switches must be present on the host network. One caveat is that the PoE must come
straight from the supplying device; it won’t pass through intermediate switches. Currently,
Access/One Network supports the following versions of PoE: 802.3af and Cisco proprietary.
