OPERATION
9.1 Overview
Ethernet-based management of the ‘parent/host’ CRS-500 1:N Redundancy System and its ‘child’
Redundant and Traffic Modems is available using the ‘
10/100 M&C ’ RJ-45 port located on the
CSU rear panel CRS-530 System Controller Module.
Before you proceed with Ethernet remote product management, make sure
the following is true:
•
Your CRS-500 and its Redundant and Traffic Modems are
interconnected and are operating with the latest version firmware files.
•
You are using a Windows-based PC (user-provided) that is connected
to the CRS-500 as follows:
o
The User PC serial port is connected with a user-supplied serial
cable to the ‘P1 | Remote Control’ DB-9M port located on the CSU
rear panel CRS-530 System Controller Module.
o
The User PC Ethernet port is connected via a user-supplied hub,
switch, or direct Ethernet CAT5 cable connection to the CRS-500.
o
The User PC is running a terminal emulation program (for
operation of the CRS-500 Serial or Telnet Interface) and a
compatible Web browser (for operation of the CRS-500 HTTP
(Web Server) Interface).
o
The CRS-5000 Management IP Address has been noted using the
CRS-500 Serial Interface or HTTP Interface.
