*The screens illustrated in this manual show capabilities for users with Admin
rights. Individuals with User-level rights can only view port status and port
settings, change their password, end a session, and reboot the unit.
NOTE
It is necessary to reboot the IE GIGA MC TX/SFP after making any modifications to the
Saved Values for the changes to take effect. To reboot, type Reboot at the prompt on
the Main Configuration screen.
3.5.2.3 Assigning IP Information
To modify the Saved Parameter Values (i.e., assign IP address and subnet
mask), press I. The system prompts for the IP address and subnet mask for
the connected device. Press Enter after each entry. A default gateway can
also be assigned, or press Enter to skip. When finished, press Enter, then
type reboot for changes to take effect. The Current Values can only be saved
and acted on after the IE GIGA MC TX/SFP has been successfully rebooted.
3.5.2.4 Password Protection for Serial Port Connections
Password/username is not offered for the serial port by default. This allows the
end user to quickly access the device for some basic configuration capability.
Password protection is provided for the serial configuration process by pressing
P on the main configuration screen. Enter a password, keeping in mind that
passwords are case-sensitive and must not exceed eight characters or include
spaces, and press Enter. This password will be requested whenever logging
on. To remove password protection, select P and, instead of entering a
password, press Enter.
Passwords have the following requirements:
• The password must be between 1 and 8 characters long
• The password consists of a combination of any ASCII characters except
spaces
• Passwords are case sensitive
Passwords are a way to make the management of the Black Box devices
secure, but these password lists must be stored and maintained.
3.5.2.5 Assigning SNMP Trap Destinations
Traps are sent by the manageable device to a management PC when a certain
event takes place. To enter a trap destination, press T. When prompted, enter
a New IP Address prompt, enter the appropriate IP address of the destination
device and press Enter. Then, type the name of the community string (that the
destination device has been configured to accept) and press Enter. Select
whether the trap is for SNMP version 1 or 2c and press Enter. This function
