ASSIGNING IP INFORMATION
To modify the Saved Parameter Values (i.e. assign IP address and subnet mask),
press I. The system prompts for the IP address and subnet mask for the
connected device. Press Enter after each entry. A default gateway can also be
assigned, or press Enter to skip. When finished, press Enter, then type reboot
for changes to take effect. The Current Values can only be saved and acted on
after the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III has been successfully rebooted.
PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR SERIAL PORT
CONNECTIONS
Password/username is not offered for the serial port by default. This allows the
end user to quickly access the device for some basic configuration capability.
Password protection is provided for the serial configuration process by pressing P
on the main configuration screen. Enter a password, keeping in mind that
passwords are case-sensitive and must not exceed eight characters or include
spaces, 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.
Passwords have the following requirements:
 The password must be between 1 and 8 characters long
 The password consists of a combination of any ASCII characters
except spaces
 Passwords are case sensitive
Passwords are a way to make the management of the devices secure, but
these password lists must be stored and maintained.
ASSIGNING TRAP DESTINATIONS
Traps are sent by the manageable device to a management PC when a certain event takes
place. To enter a trap destination, press T. When prompted, enter a New IP Address
prompt, enter the appropriate IP address of the destination device and press Enter.
Then, type the name of the community string (that the destination device has been
configured to accept) and press Enter. Select whether the trap is for SNMP version 1 or
