Using an Ethernet Network
The IONMM-232 can be managed remotely through the Ethernet network via either a Telnet session or
a Web interface. Before this is possible you must set up the IP configuration for the IONMM-232.
Important
:
It is recommended that you initially set up the IP configuration through the serial interface
(USB connection). See “
Setting Up the IP Configuration
” section of the IONMM User Guide. Otherwise,
in order to communicate with the IONMM-232 across the network for the first time, you must change
the network settings (IP address, subnet mask and default gateway address) of your PC to coincide with
the defaults of the IONMM-232 (see “Appendix B” in the IONMM-232 User Guide).
Make note of the original settings for the PC as you will need them after setting the IP configuration for
the IONMM-232.
