The analyzer is properly connected if you can connect to it through the
OptiView Browser
(Figure 12) and display the
Front
Page
(Figure 13)
.
Configuring the analyzer is probably the first task that you will want to
perform. Initially, you may want to do the following:
Configure additional
MANAGEMENT
port parameters
Specify the WAN interface type and configure physical layer
parameters
Set password controls
Set encryption controls.
Procedures for these tasks are documented under “Configuring the
Analyzer”, later in this guide. For information on other configuration
tasks, consult the online Help.
Statically Assigning the MANAGEMENT Port’s IP Address
To statically assign the
MANAGEMENT
port’s IP address, complete the
following:
1.
Connect one end of the supplied RS-232 Console Cable to the 9-pin
serial configuration port on the back of the analyzer and the other
end to an RS-232 serial port on a PC or terminal.
2.
Turn on the analyzer.
3.
On the PC, run a terminal emulation application (such as
HyperTerminal) to access the serial configuration port command-
line interface.
Note
The analyzer's serial configuration port communication
parameters are fixed at Baud rate=9600, Data bits=8,
Parity=none, and Stop bits=1. Software flow control
should be set to Xon/Xoff or none.
