Chapter 5: Configuration Utility
37
If you enter
0
and then press
Enter
, the Server Configuration menu appears. Below is an excerpt
from the Server Configuration menu:
0 -> Return to Top Menu
1 -> Network configuration
2 -> Flash status and update
3 -> Configurable features
4 -> Configuration File Download
5 -> Hardware information
6 -> Reboot
7 -> Re-Initialize (factory defaults)
99 -> Exit
enter command:
From the Server Configuration menu, you may enter selection numbers for a desired operation,
return to the Top Menu or exit the configuration utility.
For configurable items, the current value will be displayed. To leave the value unchanged, simply
press the
Enter
key at the menu or field prompt.
The configuration utility will remain active until you enter the command to exit the utility (usually
99
). If the serial configuration utility connection method is used to access the utility and an
inactivity time-out is enabled, a session will end if the inactivity period is reached.
Passwords
The configuration utility requires an administration password for access. When the hub ships (or
after it is reinitialized), there is no configured password. After you create a password, you will be
prompted for it each time you access the configuration utility.
The administration password is common between the configuration utility and the web interface.
No encryption is used when entering the password with the configuration utility.
If you reinitialize the ESP-4 MI serial hub, the password is lost; you will be required to create a
password the next time you access the configuration utility or the web interface.
To set or change the password:
1.
From the Top Menu, enter
7
to select Change password.
2.
You are prompted for the new password. Enter a 5-32 character password. Passwords are case
sensitive and may contain any alphanumeric characters.
3.
You are prompted to re-enter the new password. Retype the new password. A confirmation
message will appear.
Displaying or Changing Network Configuration Values
The Network Configuration display includes the ESP-4 MI serial hub IP address, subnet mask,
gateway address and network interface settings. You must configure a nondefault IP address for the
hub to become operational.
