To start the Link Manager:
1. Connect the managing computer to one of the two LAN ports as shown
in
figure 4-1
below:
Figure 4-1: LAN ports on the front panel of the IDU-C
If you are not using a direct connection as above, ensure that you have
IDU to managing computer connectivity (e.g. through a LAN).
2. Check that you have connectivity to the ODU. You can do this by opening
up a command line session (
Start|Run
and then type,
cmd
). At the
command prompt, type
ping 10.0.0.120
You should see something like this:

Any other response from ping means that the ODU is not responding.
Check your Ethernet connection and that both the the IDU and ODU are
switched on and then try again. If you do not succeed, seek assistance
