This section will guide the integrator through the process of configuring a COM1000 to meet the
needs of the system operator.
5.1 Useful tools
You should be aware that the firewall on your PC might prevent some of the following tools
from working correctly. This is particularly true when attempting to execute file transfers to a
COM24 card via a TFTP server.
5.1.1 Configuration tool
Each COM24 card contains an embedded web-based user interface that can be used to configure
all key parameters for all the components of the system, as well as providing access to crucial
operating conditions like RF levels and authorization status. These controls can be accessed
using your choice of web browser. Details on accessing the user interface are included in
Section 5.1.6 below.
5.1.2 DHCP Server
Because the COM24 cards have the ability to remember their settings, once the system has been
properly configured, the cards will retain whichever IP addresses were used last and will not
need to obtain new ones from a DHCP server.
Even if the cards are assigned new IP addresses, they will continue to operate normally, but
communicating with them after this happens can become somewhat problematic, especially if
you are used to interfacing with a card at a specific IP address. Refer to
Section 5.1.6 below for
recommendations on how to avoid this particular difficulty.
If you find that you need a DHCP server in your system, a useful multi-function tool that also
provides access to a TFTP server and a syslogger is
Tftpd32 , which can be found at the
