Configuring the PSFR-CP41’s Ethernet Port

If you plan to use Ethernet to configure the PSFR-CP41, you must first set up
serial communications with the PSFR-CP41 to configure the Ethernet port’s
address.

The PSFR-CP41 provides an Ethernet port for connection to a standard
10BaseT Ethernet network. You can use Ethernet to perform the following activ-
ities:

Configure the PSFR-CP41 through Telnet.

The configuration menus

accessed via the serial port will be disabled when a telnet session is
connected. When logging in for a telnet session, use ”root” as the user name
and ”password” as the password.

Upgrading the PSFR-CP41’s firmware.

You can use FTP or TFTP to send a

new firmware image to the PSFR-CP41.

If you plan to use the Ethernet port, you must first configure its address. You can
set the physical address, IP address, and IP subnet mask. The physical address
is assigned to an Ethernet adapter by its manufacturer. The IP address is used
to route information in a TCP/IP network. The IP subnet mask is used to
establish a path to a default TCP/IP gateway.

To change the Ethernet physical address, IP address, or IP subnet mask, select
4) Ethernet Configuration from the Configuration menu.
