About iConfig
iConfig is an in-band configuration utility (in iView²) that lets users quickly
and easily complete the first stages of SNMP configuration for SNMP-
manageable devices. iConfig can set the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway as well as define the community strings and SNMP traps.
In addition to the above functions, iConfig offers an authorized IP address
system and access restriction to MIB groups supported by manageable
devices. These extra layers of security are purely optional and do not affect
SNMP compatibility.
The iConfig utility can be used to upload new versions of the system software
and new MIB information. It also offers diagnostic capabilities for faster
resolution of technical support issues. The default user ID for both iConfig
and Telnet is:
User: admin / Password: admin
The three levels of Telnet account access are:
User Can only see status, change password and reboot
Operator Can perform User functions and change settings
Administrator Can perform all functions and add/delete accounts and
perform the command cleandb
A Username and Password can be added in the USER tab of iConfig, or the
Accounts command within Telnet or the Serial Configuration. Admin/admin
should not be deleted until new usernames/passwords are tested. See page
16 for additional information.
The iConfig utility works with the following platforms:
• Windows 98
• Windows NT
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
The iConfig utility is available as a standalone application, as well as built in
