User's Manual

LAN1 Subnet Mask: enter in an appropriate subnet mask for the module to “talk” on the network.
The default value for this parameter is 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: enter in an appropriate gateway address for the module. The default value for
this parameter is 169.254.0.0.
Color Code: enter in a value (0-254). The color code on the subscriber module and the access
point module must match in order for registration to occur. Color code is not a security feature. It
is a means for the Cyclone System operator to segregate an individual network or neighbor
Cyclone networks. Also, color code can be used to force a subscriber module to only register to a
specific access point module even though the subscriber module may be able to see multiple
access point modules. The default value for this parameter is 0 on all Cyclone modules.
Display-Only Password: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The display-only
password, when used, will allow only view activities to the module. When the display-only
password is set and not the full-access password, the display-only password will be tied to telnet
and FTP sessions to the module. If the full-access password is also set then it has precedence on
the telnet and FTP sessions. If the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access
to the module and will need to create a Cyclone “default plug” to override the unit. See steps to
create and use a default plug in the section on the Timing Master.
Full-Access Password: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The full-access
password, when used, will allow view and change activities to the module. When the full-access
password is set, the password will also be tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module. When
prompted for the password via the web-based interface, there is no username required; however
when prompted for the password via a telnet or FTP session, the user that MUST be used is
“root”. If the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module and will
need to create a Cyclone “default plug” to override the unit. See steps to create and use a default
plug in the section on the Timing Master.
Webpage Auto Update: enter time period (in seconds) desired to have the web browser refresh
the web-based interface. The default setting is 0, which will cause the web-based interface to
never refresh.
SM Power Up Mode with No 802.3 Link: choose which mode the module will default to when
there is no Ethernet connection sensed by the module. There are two modes available, the first is
Alignment mode and the second is Operational mode. Operational mode is the default setting.
Bridge Timeout Entry: choose the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with
existing network infrastructure. It is important that this parameter be set for a longer time period
than the ARP (address resolution protocol) cache timeout of the router being used to feed the
network.
Authorization Key: each module ships with a unique, pre-programmed authorization key to be
used when an operator configures the Cyclone System for DES encryption.
Site Name: enter information relating to a name given to the physical module. This parameter will
set the supplied information into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by a SNMP
management server. The buffer size for this field is 256 characters.
Site Contact: enter contact information relating to the module. This parameter will set the
supplied information into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by a SNMP
management server. The buffer size for this field is 256 characters.
Site Location: enter information relating to the physical location of the module. This parameter
will set the supplied information into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by a
SNMP management server. The buffer size for this field is 256 characters.
Save Changes: by clicking on this button, any changes that have been made on the
Configuration page will be committed to flash memory and will take effect after the next module
reboot.
Undo Save Changes: by clicking on this button, any changes that have been made and not
committed through a reboot of the module.
