Configuring The MCR-MGT Module
There are a number of methods which may be used to
configure the MCR-MGT module. They are;
•
Command Line or Menu interface via a direct serial
connection to the console port
•
Command Line or Manu interface via Telnet or SSH to
module
•
SNMP
•
HTTP or HTTPS to Module
•
All of the above (except for the serial connection on the
console port) require IP access to the MCR-MGT
Module. The module is pre-configured with an IP
address of 10.0.0.10 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. If
the PC that you are using does not reside on this subnet,
you will need to modify the IP address of the MCR-MGT
module.
The following are two methods in which to set the IP
address of the MCR-MGT management Module.
Perle SetIP Utility
On the CD provided with the MCR-MGT module, you will
find an executable called “Perle SetIP”. You can run it
directly from the CD or copy it to your local PC drive and
execute it from there
.
When the program runs, you can do the following;
1. From the list of devices displayed, click on the MCR-
MGT module you wish to set the IP address on and then
click on the “Assign IP” button at the top of the screen.
Please note that this operation will only be valid on
MCR-MGT modules which are in a “factory default”
state.
