Network Configuration Storage
8900NET software version 3.2.0 and later enables storage of the IP
addresses (network configuration) on the frame backplane on frames that
are equipped with storage capability (see
Figure 5 on page 11 ). In earlier
versions of software and frame types with no storage capacity, the IP
addresses are stored on the 8900NET module and stay with the module
when it is moved to another frame.
There are a number of ways to determine what type of frame you have.
Table 4 lists all available frame types and how they can be identified. The
assembly number of the frame is identified on a label located inside the
frame inside the chassis.
To determine what frame model you have and where IP addresses are
stored, you may also access the Frame Status page with the web browser
(see
Figure 22 on page 43 ). All frames with 8900NET cards with software
version 3.2.0 and later will report a Network Config status message as one of
the following:
• Network configuration stored on 8900NET module, or
• Network configuration stored on frame.
Note All Gecko Flex frames store the IP address on the frame.
Web Browser Setup
The recommended Web browser for use with the 8900NET Control and
Monitoring System is either:
• Netscape Navigator 4.x or later, or
• Internet Explorer 4.x or later.
Versions 3.x or earlier of these browsers may cause undesirable results in
the presentation of HTML frames.
