Number of Ports on Unit
The number of ports for a PDC9200 is 6.
Firmware Version
It is important that the firmware version match the actual version number in the
unit itself. The program makes decisions to include and not include certain
parameters based on this value. The actual firmware version of a unit may be
obtained from either the shipping documentation received with the unit or by
performing a line module statistic request to the unit in question.
Network Unit Number
Each unit in a network should be assigned a unique, three-digit unit number.
Unique numbers must be used. Each unit comes with a default unit number of 000
and may be used this way. Entries in this field are padded to the left with zeros. If
3 is entered, the unit number is assumed to be 003.
Power Supply Serial Number
This is an optional field used to keep track of the power supply serial number.
Chassis Serial Number
The serial number of the chassis may be entered here for later access. This is an
optional field.
Console Password
A password may be assigned to the console. Anyone directly connected or dialing
up to the console must enter this password before allowed access to the unit.
COM Port
This field designates which of the PC's com ports to use when communicating to
this unit. Not all configurations need to communicate through the same com port.
Since there is a restriction of 63 possible download addresses, some units may
need to communicate through another com port if one becomes full. This allows
each com port to handle 63 individual units.
The restriction of 63 download addresses refers to 6000-series products with firmware
version 4.10 and earlier. The method of downloading for 6000-series products with
version 4.11 firmware and later, and all 9000-series products, has changed and is no
longer restricted to 63 download addresses (see Figure 4-25 and related text on page 83).
