tributing network configuration parameters, such as
IP addresses for interfaces and services. With
DHCP, computers request IP addresses and net-
working parameters automatically from a DHCP
server, reducing the need for a network administra-
tor or a user to configure these settings manually.
The DCHP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
is either active or inactive. When DCHP is active
the values for IP address, netmask, and gateway
are set to zero. When the DCHP is inactive (default
setting from the factory) the IP address, netmask,
and gateway values can be modified by the user by
typing the desired values into the associated box
and pressing the submit button. The customer
should consult with their IT department to deter-
mine whether DCHP should be active or inactive.
User Administration Submenu
The User Administration submenu allows pass-
word protected access to the booster. The boxes
on this page are interactive. To make changes click
inside the box and a cursor will appear. Refer to
Figure 17. The user is queried for a User Name
and User Password. The default user name is
“admin” and the default password is “admin”. It is
recommended that once the booster system is
installed approved users with unique passwords
are loaded into the system and the default admin
user/password is deleted.
Once the correct user name and password are
entered then a menu box for creating a new user
will be presented. To create a new user enter the
new user name and associated password. Confirm
the new password by entering it again and then
press the Create User button. Make sure you write
down the new user name and password for safe
keeping. A menu box for deleting a user is also pre-
sented. To delete a user enter their user name in
the box and click on the Delete User button.
SNMP Configuration Submenu
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is
an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices
on IP networks. The SNMP feature is designed to
provide reliable internet notification of an alarm
occurrence or a change in operational status in the
booster. In order to configure the booster to send
SNMP messages (called traps) to a destination
device, such as your computer, the following values
need to be entered into the booster; System loca-
tion, the IP address of the destination computer,
Authentication type, User name, Password, and
Encryption type, and the Encryption passphrase.
Figure 18 shows the SNMP Configuration display.
The System location is a user defined string which
will be returned with every trap that is generated
and can assist the user in identifying which unit is
sending the trap message. The three destination IP
addresses that are entered into the table should be
