INDeX 30
38DHB0002UKDF- Issue 4 (07/2001)
Ethernet Port Connections
The INDeX 30 has a 10/100 Base-T ethernet port. This can be used to connect the
INDeX 30 to a LAN or directly to a PC network card for programming access.
–
Telnet :
This program can be used to access the INDeX 30 for system programming. It
cannot be used for file uploads and download.
–
FTP :
Command line FTP programs can be used to perform file uploads and
downloads in parallel with Telnet programming access.
–
SNMP :
The INDeX 30 can be setup to support SNMP access. This requires a SNMP
program that has been setup with the INDeX 30. MIB file and SNMP settings
provided by the network manager.
IP Network Connection
The INDeX 30 has a 10/100 Base-T ethernet port which can be connected in two
ways; either directly to a PC or as part of a LAN.
–
Direct Connection :
This can be done using either a RJ45 LAN crossover cable or a pair of standard
RJ45 LAN cables and a small hub. This method is useful for local system
programming as file upload and downloads are faster than via a Kermit serial
connection.
–
LAN Network Connection :
This is the option to use for remote programming access and if INDeX Net
features are required. It will require liaison with the LAN network manager to
obtain the IP address details and to ensure that the IP traffic routing is allowed.
When connected to an IP LAN network, you must consult with the Network Manager
to obtain the required IP settings. For IP operation the INDeX requires a static IP
address including a subnet mask and default gateway value.
After enabling IP connection, you can still select whether to allow or bar FTP, Telnet
and SNMP (see page 24).
