5 Configuring the Device
Once the connection has been established, the device must be configured. Configuration requires
extensive system knowledge and may be carried out only by authorized personnel.
5.1 Configuring the device using "OC Task"
The software for configuring the device and displaying device functions is called
OC Task
and is available
on the device. OC Task contains a number of commands that are used for administrative purposes.
To access OC task, the device must be connected to a computer. This can take place:
with a TCP/IP network via TELNET or SSH connection. Use the factory-set IP address (see label on
housing) or the IP address 172.18.70.52.
via the RS-232 service interface and the Hyper-Terminal software.
Access to the console and Linux commands is granted after logging in with
root
and entering the
corresponding password. If you have any questions, please contact your system administrator or the
technical support team of Interflex Datensysteme GmbH.
The
root@
prompt signals readiness to receive commands and data.
The following input syntax must be observed:
Commands are written in lowercase letters.
Options are separated from the command by a blank and the minus sign.
An overview of the command options can be retrieved with
-?
.
Press the "ENTER" key to confirm command lines and data.
To save new data, you must confirm the prompt
Write to EEPROM (y/n)?
with
y
.
Modified data only becomes effective after a "Restart", e.g. after a cold boot.
TELNET and SSH connections must be properly terminated after configuration.
5.2 Switching on the power supply
After the power supply has been switched on, the device executes the following functions:
The operating system is booted.
The applications are started.
The connected slave terminals are connected to each other.
The start-up procedure lasts up to 30 seconds. When the RUN LED lights up, a TELNET connection is
possible.
