21 SNMP-1000-B2 User Manual
Chapter 3 Getting Started
3.3 Communication Over Ethernet
To communicate with SNMP-1000-B2 over Ethernet, a computer equipped with an
Ethernet and TCP/IP network is required.
Users must obtain the IP address of the SNMP-1000-B2 module to communicate
with it over Ethernet.
There are four methods for determining an IP address.
A. The default IP address is 172.20.x.x, where x.x is the last four digits of the Ether-
net MAC address. The MAC address is provided on the kernel module. For example,
if the MAC address is 00 E0 d8 03 15 36 (hexadecimal), the IP address is
172.20.21.54.
B. The IP address can be determined in the console mode, as described in Section
3.2.1.1 under "Agent Configuration".
C. The IP address can be obtained using the LCM display if your SNMP-1000-B2
device is connected to the LCM display module.
D. All SNMP-1000-B2 modules connected to the same network can be identified
using the setup utility.
3.3.1 Configuration Using Telnet
Configuration using Telnet is basically the same as that via the serial port. First,
ensure that your computer has a TCP/IP network and web browser installed. In the
address line type “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, with “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” being the IP address of
SNMP-1000-B2. The SNMP-1000-B2 then prompts users to enter a user name and
password, which is the same as described in Section 3.2.
3.3.2 Configuration Using a Web Browser
The easiest way to configure SNMP-1000-B2 is by using a web browser. Input the
URL “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, with “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” being the IP address of SNMP-
1000-B2. The SNMP-1000-B2 then prompts users to enter a user name and pass-
word.
3.3.3 Remote Access Via a Telephone Line
SNMP-1000-B2’s command mode can be accessed remotely via a telephone line.
The SNMP-1000-B2 module and your PC must be connected to a telephone line
through a modem. HyperTerminal for Windows or other dialing software tools can be
used for this purpose. Please refer to the user manual of your dialing program for
setup instructions.
3.3.4 Setup Using the LCD Message Display Module
The LCD message display module is equipped with five buttons. The module can be
used for on-site service without a network-connected PC. The up (↑) and down (↓)
arrow keys on the LCD display panel allow users to scroll through the configuration
setup menu. The icon provides the functions “enter” or “OK”, and the ESC icon
provides the functions “escape” or “cancel”.
When users alter settings and/or wish to access a lower menu level, they must press
“ENTER” to confirm the changes. If users press “ESC”, the system return to a higher
menu level without saving any changes. When an alarm notification is triggered and
warning sounds are emitted, users can press the alarm reset button to stop the
audible alarm sounds.
