Platinum VAX-C Series
VAX-C front ethernet port to the computer. For additional information see "5.12.4
Connection Via Front Ethernet Connector" on page 5-34.
!
CAUTION:
DO NOT CONNECT THE VAX-C’S FRONT RJ45 CONNECTOR TO A NETWORK
BECAUSE THE DHCP SERVER IN THE VAX-C WILL CONFLICT WITH THE DHCP
SERVER IN THE NETWORK.
The rear RJ45 connector - VAX-C rear RJ45 Ethernet connector can operate in the
DHCP client mode or with a static IP. It is intended for connection to an Ethernet
network which is serviced by a DHCP server. That Ethernet network will supply the
VAX-C rear connector with an appropriate IP address when it is in the DHCP client
mode. For additional information see "5.12.5.2 Direct Connection, Computer To VAX-
C Rear Ethernet Connector" on page 5-38.
NOTE:
DHCP Client Mode Computer: A computer operated in the DHCP client mode
will be assigned an IP address if connected to a network or device which is con-
figured as a DHCP server.
NOTE:
Static Mode Computer: A computer operated in the static mode has a fixed IP
address and will not accept a new address offered by a DHCP server driven net-
work. To connect a Static Mode set computer to the rear connector, the computer
IP address must be within the DHCP range and must be an otherwise unused IP
address. See "5.12.5.2 Direct Connection, Computer To VAX-C Rear Ethernet
Connector" on page 5-38.
5.12.2 Log- In Authorization Levels & Passwords
When the Ethernet connection is established to the VAX-C, three levels of login are
available. They are:
• Two “Secure” level logins, Engineer1 and Engineer2, which allow full access to the
VAX-C programming functions.
• One "Administrator" level login that allows the administrator to view and change
existing passwords.
• Multiple "Monitor" level logins, which allow viewing only and does not allow pro-
gramming or attribute setting.
