This section describes using the Remote Access Concentrator’s Local Management utility to configure the
Concentrator for the example standard IP application shown earlier in
Section 6.3
. Because we’re using the
Concentrator’s default values for Line Build Out and switch type, configuration involves only the utility’s
Module Configuration menu, not Network Tools. Note that the Local Management utility doesn’t support mice;
use the keyboard’s up- and down-arrows or its tab key to navigate through the utility’s fields.
Here’s what the procedure would be for our hypothetical network:
1. From the Module Menu, select Module Configuration.
2. From the Module Configuration menu, first select Authentication Settings.
3. Provide the CSM Secret (“CSM_sec”) for the CSM service.
4. Provide the Concentrator’s System Name (“Conc_LRA3”), System Secret (“LRA3_sec”), and System
Password (“LRA3_pw”). These values correspond to the values we will enter on the CSM.
5. Select Save, and then Return, to go back to the Module Configuration menu.
6. Next, select General Configuration.
7. Provide date and time information.
8. Provide the Concentrator’s host IP address (2.2.2.1) and subnet mask (255.0.0.0), which correspond
to the values we’ll enter on the CSM. We do not need to enter a default gateway, since the CSM is on
the same subnet as the Concentrator.
9. Verify information, then click Save.
At this point, the Concentrator will automatically reboot.
