3.9 Remote Management of S2A9550
This section provides information on how to set up the S2A95500 for remote management and
configuration.
The S2A9550 can be managed locally through the RS-232 interface, or remotely via Telnet. The
Administrative Utility is the same regardless of the management interface (RS-232 or Telnet).
The S2A9550 also supports SNMP and allows the system to be remotely monitored.
3.9.1 Network Connection
Connect the Telnet port on the back of the S2A9550 to your Ethernet network
(Figure 3-66)
. Then set
the IP addresses, login names and passwords as described below.
NOTE : Currently, the S2A9550 does not support network configuration protocols such as DHCP or
BOOTP.
3.9.2 Network Interface Set Up
For first time set up, you will need to connect to the CLI (RS-232) port in order to change the IP
address and/or network settings.
To set up the network interface:
1. Use the network command to display the current settings
(Figure 3-67)
.
2.
Change the S2A9550’s IP address for your network environment: NETWORK IP=<new IP
address> .
3. Change the netmask of the S2A9550, if needed:
NETWORK NETMASK=<new netmask>
.
4. Enable the Telnet capability, if needed: NETWORK TELNET=ON .
NOTE : Telnet connections are clear text. If Telnet connections are used, you may expose
S2A9550
passwords to third parties. For higher security, we recommend that you turn off Telnet access if it is not
required.
