This section will discuss the TCP/IP Ethernet-specific Management Functions.
The Ethernet hardware should be previously installed. In the 8100/9100 models,
only one communication type is allowed for all hosts.
TCP/IP A
DDRESSES
The Ethernet-equipped ATM communicates using Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP), allowing it to send and receive information in
the form of small packets of digital data. In order to configure the ATM to
correctly access the host network using this protocol, IP addresses must be
entered into the appropriate ATM setup functions. The Addresses are the H
OST
TCP/IP, T
ERMINAL
IP, S
UBNET
M
ASK
, G
ATEWAY
, and L
ISTENING
P
ORT
.
The addresses are attached to the data packet that is being sent; the H
OST
TCP/
IP address allows the data packet to be routed through the TCP/IP Ethernet
network, ultimately to be received and processed by the host server on the
network. The T
ERMINAL
IP address identifies the ATM as the source of the data
packet, and is used by the host server to return acknowledgements, transaction
approvals, or other data to the ATM. Alongside the addresses, each port
requires a S
UBNET
M
ASK
.
This part of the IP address distinguishes other machines on the same LAN from
machines in other departments or elsewhere in the world. For direct access to
networks beyond the current one, each machine must be told the IP addresses
of the router (or G
ATEWAY
) that connects the local network with the wider world.
The L
ISTENING
P
ORT
value identifies the data being sent to that specific machine.
The MAC A
DDRESS
is assigned from the iChip manufacturer. The C
HIP
V
ERSION
indicates the chip family, software version, and boot block revision in the
Ethernet device only. TCP/IP T
IMEOUT
is the time that the terminal will wait from
the message to be sent to the host and the time it takes for the host to respond.
If Triton Connect ATM monitoring software is being used, the applicable IP
addresses for the Triton Connect host computer and Alarm Monitoring feature
must also be entered.
The descriptions on the following pages will cover how to access the appropriate
functions and initially enter the IP addresses and any other TCP/IP Ethernet
operating parameters or diagnostics.
