When the router completes the restart sequence, it can communicate with the
configuration program.
After Initial Configuration
Important: After the 2216 is configured and operational, always back up the
active configuration file. Keeping this file enables you to re-establish the
2216 on the network if the active configuration becomes corrupted.
You can back up the active configuration file by retrieving it and storing it in
the workstation.
Full Configuration
The initial configuration procedure you have just performed will enable you to
access the IBM 2216 over the network if you configured an IP address for it.
The configuration provided by QCONFIG depends upon many default values for
parameters, some of which may not be appropriate to your installation. You may
need to modify the configuration that you have created using QCONFIG to
customize the IBM 2216 to work on your network. You can do this using either of
these methods:
¹
Configuration Program
The Configuration Program is the recommended configuration method for
these reasons:
1
It can enable you to keep a number of copies of configuration files on a
server for uploading to the appropriate IBM 2216s.
2
It does not alter any configuration parameters dynamically. This feature
helps you control changes to the IBM 2216 configurations.
3
It performs more input validation and cross-checking of the configuration
parameters than the other methods.
¹
Command line interface (OPCON)
The command line interface causes certain parameters to be altered
dynamically. The binary files that are created are saved on the hard disk of the
IBM 2216, not in the workstation. This characteristic makes it more difficult to
manage the configuration of the IBM 2216. However, the command line
interface can be used to monitor the operations of the IBM 2216, whereas the
Configuration Program cannot.
