Chapter 4 Configuration WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual

To configure the Ethernet Mode:

1. From the Configuration menu, select the site to reconfigure.

The Configuration dialog box opens.

2. In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop-down menu

to select the LAN configuration.

3. Click Apply to save the changes.

Note

It is possible to close the Ethernet service by disconnecting the

Ethernet port. The user should be aware that it i possible to close the

port and not have any access to the device. If this should occur the

workaround is as follows:

• Connect the system from the remote site

• Connect via other Ethernet port (IDU-C)

• Power down the equipment and connect immediately after the

power up (the fastest way is to enter install mode).

4.12 Changing Community Values

The ODU communicates with the management application using

SNMPv1 protocol. The protocol defines three types of communities:

• Read-Only for retrieving information from the ODU

• Read-Write to configure and control the ODU

• Trap used by the ODU to issue traps.

The community string must be entered at login. The user must know

the password and the correct community string in order to gain access

to the system. A user may have read-only privileges.

It is not possible to manage the ODU if the read-write or the read

community values are forgotten. A new community value may be

obtained from technical support for the purpose of setting new

community; the serial number or the MAC address of the ODU must be

supplied.
