Chapter 3 Getting Started
3.1 Configuring the SNMP-1000-B1
Before using your SNMP-1000-B1 SNMP/HTTP intelligent system man-
ager, you will need to configure it. Configuration can be done through a
PC serial port with terminal emulator software such as Hyperterminal of
Windows 98/NT. You can also configure it from the Ethernet port by
using Telnet or using a browser such as Netscape Communicator or
Microsoft Internet Explorer. Due to security reasons, some parameters
can only be set through the serial port.
A setup software utility can be found in the utility CD-ROM shipped with
the SNMP-1000-B1. It will help you to setup a number for the SNMP-
1000-B1 system managers with same configuration. You can save current
configuration to a file and copy it to other modules.
Before you can configure your SNMP-1000-B1 module, you need to first
install your SNMP-1000-B1 and power it up. Please refer to Chapter 2 for
installation instruction. You can connect it to a network through its LAN
port, or connect its serial port to a PC's serial port. Due to security rea-
son, the administrator name and password can be changed only with
direct serial port connection to a PC.
When all the cables are well connected, you can power up the SNMP-
1000-B1. A green LED on the kernel module indicates that 5V power is
supplied to SNMP-1000-B1. Then it starts a self-testing procedure. It
takes around 5 seconds, then it is ready to work.
Note: A special "null modem" cable is required to
connect its serial port to a PC's serial port.
Please make sure that the cable has reversed
Tx & Rx signals at one end, and only pin 2, 3, &
5 are connected. This cable is available from
Advantech. (Part number: 1700091801). If
other pins are connected, the SNMP-1000-B1
will detect your RS-232 connection as a modem
so it will stop immediately.
