Destination Configuration setup parameters (Sections 7.3.1.1 through 7.3.1.4):
7.3.1.1 Destination Name
The current IP Address is the default name and can be changed by the user. The first time the
Destination Configuration menu appears, the administrator can create an appropriate name for
the gateway, for example, Phoenix (Figure 7.3.1.1). Upon selecting a desired name it will appear
in the Destination pull down menu on the Log-In screen and also in the title bar on the
Configuration Controller window (Figure 7.3.1.4).
Figure 7.3.1.1 Destination Configuration
NOTE: Changing the Destination Name is not a requirement but is provided as a simple way to
identify the different gateways by the physical location in the network.
7.3.1.2 IP Address
192.168.0.236 is a factory default and can be changed by user to match what is set by the
Service port (refer to section 6.2.4.11)
7.3.1.3 SNMP Version
SNMPv2 is the factory default version and can be changed by the user to match what is set by
the Service port (refer to section 6.2.4.9 or 6.2.4.10). The gateway utilizes either SNMPv2 or v3
protocols as the means of exchanging monitor and control information. It is suggested that
SNMPv2 be used for the initial setup of the gateway.
7.3.1.3.1 SNMPV2
When selecting SNMPv2, the unit allows public access to all menus. SNMPv2 allows any user to
access and control all parameters of the gateway. On the SNMPv2 Login screen, the Read and
Read/Write communities default to “public”. The Read Community and Rd/WR Community
configuration must be set to match the configuration as set by the Service port (refer to section
6.2.4.9).
