Utilities for network debugging
The console interface provides several utilities to assist the Administrator to check the system conditions
and debugging. The utilities are described as following:
¾
Ping host (IP): By sending ICMP echo request to a specified host and wait for the response to test
the network status.
¾
Trace routing path: Trace and inquire the routing path to a specific target.
¾
Display interface settings: It displays the information of each network interface setting including the
MAC address, IP address, and netmask.
¾
Display the routing table: The internal routing table of the system is displayed, which may help to
confirm the Static Route settings.
¾
Display ARP table: The internal ARP table of the system is displayed.
¾
Display system live time: The system live time (time for system being turn on) is displayed.
¾
Check service status: Check and display the status of the system.
¾
Set device into “safe mode”: If administrator is unable to use Web Management Interface via the
browser for the system failed inexplicitly. Administrator can choose this utility and set IAS-2000 into
safe mode, then administrator can management this device with browser again.
¾
Synchronize clock with NTP server: Immediately synchronize the clock through the NTP protocol
and the specified network time server. Since this interface does not support manual setup for its
internal clock, therefore we must reset the internal clock through the NTP.

Change admin password
Besides supporting the use of console management interface through the connection of null modem, the
system also supports the SSH online connection for the setup. When using a null modem to connect to
the system console, we do not need to enter that administrator’s password to access the console
management interface. But connecting the system by SSH, we have to enter the username and
password.
