Probe Configuration Using a Local Terminal
An initial configuration of the probe is necessary before it can communicate over
the LAN telemetry network interface or serial port. The WAN interface must be
configurated before monitoring can occur. You perform the configuration by using
a series of configuration menus that provide a number of options (fields) to choose
from.
NOTE This chapter covers all the information you will need to perform the initial
configuration of the probe with the exception of, the TFTP Download new
firmware and XMODEM Download new firmware menu items and the Warm
start and Exit and Cold start and Exit menu items. These topics are explained
in Chapter 6 “Download New Firmware” and Chapter 5 “Probe Operation”,
respectively.
The initial configuration for the Ethernet LAN Telemetry network (10Base-T or
100Base-TX) communication includes:
z IP Address
z Default Gateway IP Address (if required)
z Subnet Mask (if required)
z Autodiscovery Echo Interval
The initial configuration for the optional Token-Ring LAN Telemetry interface
includes:
z Ring Speed
z Ring Number
The following configuration parameters are used to display time and date
information in the user interface only. A separate internal clock is used to time-
stamp data collected from the network.
z Date
z Time
z Time Zone
