The Ethernet configuration settings are
#
Name
Description
1
MAC Address Media Access Control address – a unique, unchanging identifier for the
attenuator unit.
2
Network
gateway
IP address of the network gateway. When DHCP is selected this is assigned
by the server and will change according to the server.
3
Subnet Mask The network's subnet mask. When DHCP is selected this is assigned by the
server and will change according to the server.
4
IP Address
The IP address of the unit on the network. When DHCP is selected this is
assigned by the server and will change according to the server.
5
Use DHCP
When selected the attenuator will query the server for appropriate
parameters with no input from the user. Any manually entered IP address,
subnet mask and network gateway will be disregarded.
6
Refresh
Request IP address, gateway and subnet mask from server.
7
Copy state
Copies current state of dynamic IP to static IP, not available when DHCP is
selected.
8
Static
Configuration
When DHCP is not selected the user must specify the values below which
will not be changed by the server.
9
Telnet Port
Specify the port to use for Telnet communication on the network (default 23).
10
Password
To restrict remote access to the attenuator in HTTP or Telnet control select
"Use Password" and enter the desired password below (up to 20 characters).
In SSH control a password will be required regardless of the settings.
11
Store
After you've made all changes you want to click on this button to save the
settings.
12
Telnet prompt
When enabled in Telnet mode will add the specified prompt (up to 10
characters) to the Telnet ID in each response.
If you enter “MN” in the prompt field the unit will return its model number
If you enter “SN” in the prompt field the unit will return its serial number
13
SSH Port/Login
Specify the port to use for SSH communication on the network (default 22).
SSH login requires setting a user ID (default “ssh_user”) and a password.
Note port address does not get assigned by the server when DHCP is
selected.
14
HTTP Port
Specify the port to use for HTTP communication on the network (default 80).
Note port address does not get assigned by the server when DHCP is
selected.
Note:
It is not advised to set the HTTP, Telenet, and SSH ports to use the same port as it
may result in a crash.
3.3.4
In the RCDAT-30G-30 & RCDAT-40G-30 you will also
see the enable
Ethernet function in the bottom left corner. This is active in factory default, however when you
want to reduce current consumption while using the unit in USB control or as a ‘slave’ unit in
daisy chain configuration you can uncheck it to turn off the Ethernet control circuitry. Verify it is
in the factory default state (checked) to allow using Ethernet control.
3.3.5
After making the changes you want, click on "Store"
and the changes
will be saved to the attenuator's memory.
