Setting the module parameters via Internet
Since the WB169-RFG module is always connected to the Internet from the principle of its function, following
standard tools commonly used in IP networks can also be used for its remote management:
”ICMP” for module availability check
- ”Telnet” for remote access to the module configuration console
- ”TFTP” for downloading and uploading of configuration files
- ”HTTP” for displaying some data via module WEB interface
The module also supports checking and setting of some of its parameters by using the IP/UDP datagrams with the
NEP-encoded data content (see paragraph
”
Checking module parameters using the optical converter”.
Checking of module availability
by using the ”ICMP ping” application can be performed by entering the
command ”ping” and the IP address of the module from the command line of any computer. Example of perform-
ing a ”ping” availability check from the Windows Command Prompt:
C:\Users\99hon>ping 172.1.16.24

Configuration of the module parameters can be performed via remote access using the ”Telnet” application. An
example of remote connection to the module via Telnet from PuTTY program is shown in the figure
