Setting up the 833IS LAN Connection

Perle 833IS User Guide
IPX Connection to
the Manager
No configuration is required for the Manager to communicate with a 833IS using
IPX. By listening to the traffic on the LAN, the 833IS learns about all the networks
that it can reach. It automatically discovers the IPX network numbers for the
networks and all supported frame types on the network.
IP Connection to
the Manager
IP networks require devices to be configured with unique addresses. Depending on
network topology, other parameters may have to be set. Most organizations have a
department or individual responsible for IP address management. Consult with them
to get the correct values.
If there is a router between the 833IS and the management connection, the 833IS
will need to know the address of this router.
The 833IS requires the following IP parameters be established:
IP Address
This address uniquely identifies the unit to the IP network. The 833IS provides the
following ways of acquiring this IP address.
■
You can configure an IP address from the Front Panel.
■
If you are managing your network IP addresses on either a BOOTP (Boot
Protocol) or RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) server, you can set
the IP address there. The 833IS attempts to acquire the IP address from a BOOTP
or RARP server by default. You will need the MAC address of the 833IS to do
this. This address can be obtained from the Front Panel.
If you do not configure an IP address and do not get the address from an Address
server, the 833IS will be unable to communicate with the manager using the IP
protocol.
This IP address will need to be explicitly defined in the Manager as detailed in
"Using IP" on page 47.
IP Subnet Mask
An IP network can be partitioned into subnetworks, or subnets. For IP networks on a
single LAN segment, there are likely no subnets defined. If you have a larger IP
network with IP routers, you likely have subnets defined.
If your IP network has not been partitioned, the IP subnet mask will default to the
correct value. If you have set up subnets in your IP network, set the mask as
instructed by your IP Network Administrator.
