Configuring the management IP interface

This chapter describes how to configure a management IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway address on a newly installed Contivity 1700. After you
complete the procedures in this chapter, you will be able to configure and manage
the Contivity 1700 using a Web browser from a PC.

To configure the management IP interface, you use the serial interface
configuration menu. You must connect a PC or terminal to the serial port on the
Contivity 1700.

This chapter contains the following topics:

Troubleshooting 51

Installing the Contivity 1700

44 Chapter 3 Configuring the management IP interface

Required information

Before you configure the management interface, collect this information:

• IP address for the management interface

The management IP address must be accessible from one of the private
physical interfaces on the Contivity 1700. For example, if you plan to assign
IP address 10.2.3.3 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 to the private physical
interface, the management IP address must reside in the 10.2 network.

• Subnet mask

The subnet mask specifies which IP addresses are directly reachable on the
network and which ones must be routed through a gateway. For example, the
IP address 10.2.3.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 indicates that all hosts
with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.

• Default gateway (optional)

The default gateway routes packets to destinations for which there is no
specific route in the routing table. You can configure a default gateway when
you assign the management IP address, or you can configure it at a later time.

Note: Write down and save the management IP address. You will need it
to configure the Contivity 1700.

314711-D Rev 00

Chapter 3 Configuring the management IP interface 45

Configuring the management IP address

You use the serial interface to assign the Contivity 1700 a management IP address
and subnet mask so that you can then use a Web browser for management.

To configure the management IP address using the serial interface:

1 Turn on the terminal or PC.

The terminal or PC should be configured as follows:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

•1 stop bit

• No parity

• No flow control

2 Connect the serial cable (supplied with the Contivity 1700) from the

gateway’s serial port to a terminal or to the communications port on a PC.

3 On the PC, start HyperTerminal* or another terminal emulation program and

press Enter.

System ports

The Contivity 1700 system board provides the following built-in interfaces:

• 10/100BASE Ethernet LAN port

• Serial port

This section provides information about the 10/100BASE Ethernet LAN port and
the serial port on the system board.

10/100BASE Ethernet LAN port

The system board provides one 10/100BASE Ethernet LAN interface on the rear
of the chassis. This LAN interface, which accommodates an RJ-45 straight­through cable, is generally used for Web management. Depending on whether you
will use the interface for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX operation, select cables for
the interface as follows:

• 100BASE-TX connections require Category 5 twisted-pair wire. The
100BASE-TX specification supports 100 Mb/s transmission over two pairs of
Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet wiring: one pair each for transmit and
receive operations.

The maximum recommended cable segment length is 100 meters between a
100BASE-TX repeater and a workstation (due to signal timing requirements).
This wiring scheme complies with the EIA 568 wiring standard.

• 10BASE-T connections can use Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted-pair wiring.

7811 chip for encryption and compression. It performs triple DES and DES

cryptography, LZS

At startup, whenever a Hardware Accelerator card is manually enabled, or
whenever the card recovers from a failure, the power-on self-test (POST) verifies
the integrity of the hardware. This test includes validation of the accelerator card’s
encryption, MAC, and compression algorithms against their software
counterparts. In the event POST fails, the Hardware Accelerator card is set offline.
