This chapter describes how to conÞgure the
DL600E
unit using its terminal
interface.
D
Note:
The DL600E unit can be partially conÞgured from the
front panel, which is the same as conÞguring from a
terminal. Instructions for using the front panel to conÞgure
the DL600E unit is found in
Chapter 5, Using the Front
Panel Interface .
Preparing to ConÞgure
During the initial
DL600E
conÞguration you must:
¥
ConÞgure the Comm port from the front panel (if a terminal
or
SNMP
manager is to monitor the unit)
¥ Set the DL600E IP
address,
IP
subnet mask to establish a Telnet
connection to the
DL600E
unit
¥
Set up to three Trap
NMS IP
addresses and community strings
in
Menu-0 SNMP ConÞg
to use an
SNMP
workstation
You must also perform the initial conÞguration of the unit
ID
and Comm
Port from the front panel. The
IP
addresses and mask are conÞgured from
the terminal interface.
Keeping a Record
We suggest you keep a written record of each unitÕs conÞguration. Use the
Configuration Worksheet
provided at the end of Appendix A.
Connecting an ASCII Terminal
To use the terminal interface, you
must first
conÞgure the
Comm
Port
from the
front panel
of the
DL600E unit
. Refer to Chapter
5
for
information on how to conÞgure the
DL600E
unit with the front panel.
Connect a terminal to the
DL600E
Comm Port either directly, through a
terminal server, or through a modem.
Before you connect the terminal, make sure the baud rate, parity bit,
word length and stop bit settings on the terminal or modem
match
the
DL600E
settings.
