Configuring the Analyzer through the Serial Configuration Port
In situations where you do not have remote access (through the user interface
software) to the analyzer, you may want to configure the analyzer IP address
parameters for both the Network-Under-Test and Management ports before
connecting the analyzer to a network. The analyzer has a serial configuration port
that provides this capability.
To configure the analyzer through the configuration port:
•
Connect the supplied RS-232 cable between the analyzer serial configuration
port and a serial port on a PC or terminal.
•
Run a terminal emulation application on the PC to access the configuration
port command line interface.
•
Press <Enter> and a prompt will appear that includes the SNMP name of the
analyzer. If the analyzer is password protected, a prompt for the password will
appear to gain configuration access. If the analyzer is not password protected,
configuration access is directly available.
The configuration port, command line interface provides three configuration
“modes”: Root, Management configuration, and Network configuration. The
commands associated with each mode are described below.
