Chapter 5. ETHERNET INTERFACE
OPERATION
5.1
Overview
Operation of the RC-1170/1270 Redundancy Switch Controller Ethernet Interface is available
when you connect a user-supplied, windows-based PC to the
‘J4 | Unit Com’
communications
port on the RC-1170/1270 Redundancy Switch Controller using the appropriate adapter cable.
Two protocols are available to use for the Ethernet remote Monitor and Control (M&C). Operate
these protocols separately.
CEFD recommends use of the Ethernet-based Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) interface for advanced users only. All other users are strongly
encouraged to use the RC-1170/1270 Redundancy Switch Controller HTTP
Interface for remote M&C of the RC-1170/1270 Redundancy Switch Controller.
•
Telnet Interface. You may use the serial remote control protocol via this interface. This
requires use of Windows Command-line, or a user-supplied terminal emulation program
such as Tera Term.
•
HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied web browser
such as Google Chrome.

J4 | Unit
Com’
port.
•
You have recorded the RC-1170/1270 Redundancy Switch Controller’s Management IP
Address.
