Local Terminal Configuration

Using the Main Menu

NOTE

If the Token-Ring telemetry interface is installed, you can configure either the
Fast Ethernet interface or the Token-Ring interface as the telemetry interface. The
Fast Ethernet interface comes from the factory configured as Telemetry and the
Token-Ring interface comes configured as Monitor/Transmit and is disabled.
“Disabled” in this case means that the interface does not function at all, not as a
Telemetry port nor as a Monitor/Transmit port. If you configure the Token-Ring
interface as Telemetry, the Fast Ethernet interface automatically becomes
configured as Monitor/Transmit and is disabled.

Port Type

Press

and select the port type as Telemetry. Making this

configuration change will disable the Ethernet telemetry port
(port 1). You can select either the Token-Ring or the Fast
Ethernet interface (but not both) as the telemetry port. The
telemetry port does not maintain network statistics for the
Token-Ring interface. The telemetry interface only allows the
retrieval of WAN ATM network statistics. Refer to “Fast
Ethernet Telemetry Interface Configuration” on page 25 for
information on configuring the Fast Ethernet interface. The
probe must be configured with exactly one telemetry port.

IP Address

Press

and then type the IP address for the probe. If the IP

address is

0.0.0.0

, the probe will transmit Bootp Requests

for configuration information (including IP address) over the
network. This does not apply to ports configured as Monitor-
Only.

Default Gateway

Press

and then type the default gateway IP address for the

probe

IP Address

(optional).

Subnet Mask

Press

and then type the subnet mask for the probe.

Token-Ring

Press

to modify or view the network speed setting.

Speed

The default configuration is set to 16 Mbps network speed.
You can enter values of 4 or 16 for 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps
respectively or enter Auto to automatically sense the ring
speed.
