4.2 Initial User Setup
The card is fully operational with factory default settings shown in Table 4-2. The following settings are typically
reviewed by the end user and are changed as required depending on the network topology where the card will
be used.
SFP Port Mode of Operation (redundant or daisy chain):
MRP: ON / OFF
Mode: MRC / MRM
Note
: In redundant operation (e.g. ring topology) where two MES cards can be connected together using both SFP ports, normally
MRP is ON with MRM mode at the surface card and MRP is ON with MRC mode at the subsea card. For daisy chain operation (two
SFPs active at the same time) the cards can be left in MRC mode or with MRP OFF.
SFP Media Type (link speed):
100BASE-FX / 1000BASE-X
Note
: No changes are required for factory-provided SFPs. In cases where the end user installs third party SFPs, changes might be
required depending on the SFP type. It is highly recommended to use Focal approved SFPs to ensure reliable performance of the
card.
Network Settings:
Diagnostics
Factory reserved parameters
Note
: Diagnostics is served by a microcontroller (uC DIAG) and provides access to all diagnostic options and management of the
card. The factory reserved parameters are intended for future use and could be used by a secondary microcontroller embedded in
the MES switch core.
4.2.1 Initial Card Configuration via Telnet
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable between your PC and CU1 (or any other copper port) of the card under
configuration.
2. Power up the card (+24 VDC).
Note
: The card boot-up time is about 1.5 minutes and on-board LEDs will indicate a physical link after this period of time. The user can
run continuous pings (IP: 192.168.0.100) to the card as a way to verify once a Telnet link can be established. By default, DHCP is
enabled and this might increase the time between power-up and initial ping responses.
3. Using a terminal emulator program, such as TeraTerm, establish a Telnet connection to the card using:
a. Host: 192.168.0.100
b. TCP Port #: 23
4.
The “

” prompt will appear after a connection has been established. At this point Telnet
commands can be used to change and save new user settings. It is recommended to record the new settings
for future reference. Typical configuration options are shown below.
