4 SETUP AND OPERATION
At power-up, the OM 2000 operating parameters are set either by data stored
internally in non-volatile storage (FLASH) or by data downloaded from a Bootstrap
Protocol (BOOTP) server on the headend LAN. The method used depends on your
system configuration.
After you set the initial operating parameters, you can modify the configuration by:
•
Entering new parameter settings at the OM 2000 front panel
•
Forcing a reboot to download a new configuration from the BOOTP server
•
Sending commands from an SNMP network manager
This section provides information to help you configure the OM 2000 through the
graphical user interface (GUI) of the OM Element Manager. For information on
downloading data from a BOOTP server, refer to
Network Connection
At power-up, the operating configuration of the OM is determined by data stored
internally in flash memory, by data that is downloaded from a bootstrap protocol
(BOOTP) server. The particular method used to set up initial operation depends on
the system configuration.
After setting the initial operating configuration, modify the configuration by:
•
Sending commands from an SNMP network manager (such as the OM-EM or
SDM)
•
Forcing a reboot to download a new configuration to the OM from the BOOTP
server. The OM only processes BOOTP responses from the OAM&P interface
(ENET1).
MAC addresses for the two Ethernet ports are included on the serial number
label on the bottom of the OM.)
Verifying the Network Connection
Ping the OM OAM&P interface to ensure the IP address was assigned. At bootup,
the OAM&P interface, ENET1, should be connected to the local network. The OM
will always attempt to auto-negotiate at bootup and will set the duplex and data rate
(10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) depending on the results of the auto-negotiation process. If
the Data IP interface ENET2 is to be used, it should also be connected to its own
network at bootup. ENET1 and ENET2 must be on separate networks.
OM-EM Requirements
The Out-of-band Modulator –Element Manager (OM-EM) standalone application is
downloaded from the OM and runs under JRE 1.2.2 and above (up to 1.4.1).
