3 Configuration and Diagnostics
Lean Managed Switches offer several user interfaces for accessing configuration and
diagnostic data. The preferred interfaces are the web interface and SNMP interface. These
two interfaces can be used to make all the necessary settings and request all information.
Access via V.24 (RS-232) interface only enables access to basic information. However, the
V.24 (RS-232) interface also enables firmware update via XMODEM in the event of faulty
firmware.
3.1 Factory Manager
3.1.1 General Function
The integration of the LMS in the Factory Manager provides support for configuration and
management.
3.1.2 Assigning IP Parameters
Once you have established all the necessary connections and the Factory Manager has
been started, restart the LMS.
Following the boot phase, the LMS sends the BootP requests, which are received by the
Factory Manager and displayed in the message window. If you are operating other devices
in the same network, messages from these devices may also be displayed. Messages from
Phoenix Contact Factory Line components can be easily identified by their MAC address,
which starts with 00.A0.45... and is provided on the devices.
Settings are not automatically saved permanently. The active configuration can be saved
permanently by selecting "Save current configuration" on the "Configuration
Management" web page, the "SAVE" button in the terminal interface or the
"flWorkFWCtrlConfSave" SNMP object.
Only one of several options for assigning IP parameters using the Factory Manager is
described here.
The free-of-charge „IPAssign.exe“ addressing tool can be used to assign the IP
parameters. It is not necessary to install the program as it is available in the form of an
executable (*.exe) file. It can be downloaded at www.download.phoenixcontact.com
.
Please check the MAC address in the messages to ensure the correct device is
addressed.
