SNMP-1000-B2 User Manual 14
3.1 Configuring SNMP-1000-B2
The SNMP-1000-B2 HTTP intelligent system manager must be configured prior to
use. Configuration can be conducted through a PC serial port using terminal emula-
tor software, such as HyperTerminal in Windows 98/NT, or via the Ethernet port using
Telnet or a browser such as Chrome or Internet Explorer. For security reasons, cer-
tain parameters can only be configured via the serial port.
The setup utility software can be found on the utility CD shipped with SNMP-1000-
B2. This can assist system managers with setting up multiple SNMP-1000-B2 sys-
tems with the same configuration. A specific configuration can be saved to a file and
then copied to other modules.
Before configuration, users must install and power up their SNMP-1000-B2 module.
Please refer to Chapter 2 for installation instructions. SNMP-1000-B2 can be con-
nected to a network via the LAN port, or via the serial port connected to the serial port
of a PC. For security reasons, the administrator name and password can only be
changed via the serial port directly connected to a PC.
When all cables are connected, SNMP-1000-B2 can be powered up. A green LED on
the kernel module indicates that 5 V of power is being supplied to SNMP-1000-B2.
The system initiates a self-testing procedure that takes approximately 5 seconds to
complete before the system can be used.
3.2 Configuration Via the Serial Port
In this manual, HyperTerminal for Windows (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP) is used as
an example to demonstrate the configuration process.
1. Start HyperTerminal by accessing the “Accessories” program group.
2. Enter a name and choose an icon for the connection.
3. In the “Connect using” box, select “Direct to COMx”. Here x represents the num-
ber of the COM port connected to SNMP-1000-B2.
4. Configure your PC serial port to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit with
no flow control.
5. After users press “Enter”, the SNMP-1000-B2 prompts for the administrator
name and password. The default administrator name is “advantech” and the
default password is “admin”.
Note A unique “null modem” cable is required to connect the module serial
port to a PC serial port. Please ensure that the cable features reversed
Tx and Rx signals at one end and only Pins 2, 3, and 5 are connected.
This type of cable is available from Advantech (part number
1700091801). If other pins are connected, SNMP-1000-B2 will identify
the RS-232 connection as a modem connection and terminate it imme-
diately.
Note Access through Telnet or via a serial port is only permitted using the
"Admin User Name" and "Admin User Password" set in the Control
Group.
