Assigning Trap Destinations
The manageable device sends Traps to a management PC when a certain event takes
place. To enter a Trap destination, press T. Type the IP address of the destination
device when asked to “Enter a New IP Address.” Then, press Enter. Type the name
of the community string (that the destination device has been configured to accept)
and press Enter. This function enables all of the device’s Traps. Use iConfig to
selectively activate and de-activate specific Traps.
Removing Trap Destinations
To remove all Trap destinations, press K. Press Y to confirm. Press N to abort. Then,
press Enter.
Password Protection on Serial Port
Password protect the serial configuration process by pressing P from the main
configuration screen. Enter a password. (Passwords are case sensitive.) Enter the
password (spaces are NOT allowed) and press Enter. This password will be
requested whenever logging on. To remove password protection, select P and
instead of entering a password press Enter.
It is the responsibility of the network administrator to store and maintain the
password lists. If passwords are lost, neither the end user nor IMC Networks can
retrieve them.
Enabling/Disabling DHCP
To Enable/Disable DHCP, press D. Then, type reboot for the changes to take effect.
Ending a Session
Be sure to press E before disconnecting the cable. This stops the device from sending
feedback status through to the serial port.

About iConfig
iConfig is a configuration utility (part of 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
SNMP community strings and 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 in any
way.
The iConfig utility can also be used to upload new versions of the system software. 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 iConfig utility works with the Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP operating systems.
The iConfig utility is available as a standalone application as well as built in to the
Windows version of iView² (Windows 98 users must use the standalone version of the
iConfig utility). Both applications are included on the iView² CD. Refer to the
iConfig utility online help file for more information about the iConfig utility.
About Serial Port Configuration
The SNMP management module used with the iMediaChassis/3 features a serial port
that includes an IBM-compatible DB-9 serial connector. To connect an
iMediaChassis/3 to a computer, use a straight-
through (pin-to-pin) cable. (When the computer
has a serial port using a connection not
compatible with a DB-9 COM port, use the pin
connection chart for reference in making a cable.)
Make sure the cable length is less than 50 ft.
(15.24 m). Plug one end of the cable into the
DB-9 connector on the iMediaChassis/3 and the
other into the appropriate port on the computer.
Set the computer for VT-100 emulation. The serial port on the computer should be
set for: 38.4K baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.
