Introduction
Ethernet‐based Remote Product Management is available through the MCED‐100 MetaCarrier®
Embedding Device’s ‘ETHERNET MANAGEMENT’ RJ‐45 10/100 BaseT Fast Ethernet port.

(SNMP OR WEB SERVER), ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE THAT:
• The MCED‐100 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The MCED‐100 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC, and:
o
The PC serial port is connected to the MCED‐100 serial ‘CONSOLE’ port
with a user‐supplied serial cable.
o
The PC Ethernet port is connected to the MCED‐100 ‘ETHERNET
MANAGEMENT’ RJ‐45 10/100 BaseT Fast Ethernet port with a user‐
supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable connection.
o
The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
MCED‐100 Serial Interface) and a compatible Web browser (for
operation of the MCED‐100 Web Server Interface).
• The MCED‐100’s Management IP Address has been noted using the
MCED‐100 Serial Interface.
Note that, while use of the serial port connection/Serial Interface is
