608MFX NETWORK CONFIGURATION

The N-TRON 608MFX is a product derivative of the OSM/ESM family jointly manufactured by Siemens and N-TRON. Some of the software menus may refer to the OSMTP62 (Optical Systems Module) or ESM (Electrical Systems Module) when identifying the N-TRON 608MFX. These names are synonymous.

There are 3 main ways to configure and/or monitor the N-TRON 608MFX:

1. Command Line Interpreter - Serial Port

2. Command Line Interpreter - TELNET

3. SNMP (SNMP Host SW not supplied by N-TRON).

COMMAND LINE INTERPRETER (CLI)

You can configure and/or query all the important parameters of a 608MFX using a command line interpreter. These functions may be accessed using the serial port (marked V24) or via TELNET.

The CLI can be used for the following:

• To set the IP address and the subnet mask of the 608MFX.

• To assign new passwords for the 608MFX.

• To view/modify parameters of the 608MFX.

To access the CLI, connect a PC serial port to the 608MFX serial port (see HW Installation guide). After a successful connection and reboot, the boot menu should be displayed:

Password Protection

Access using the CLI is password–protected. You can log in as administrator or as user (with different passwords). An administrator can read and modify 608MFX parameters. a user can only read 608MFX settings. Note: The default admin password is admin, and the default user password is user.

Once the connection has been established via the serial port or TELNET, the following prompt appears:

Password:

Enter your administrator or user password and press [Return].

The CLI then displays the start menu and the prompt

CLI>

You can now activate the commands of the CLI.

Reset

You can reset the 608MFX by depressing and holding the Select/Set button. If necessary, depress the Select/Set button until the diplay mode LEDs indicate the port status (all diplay mode LEDs = OFF). Then, press the Select/Set button for at least 6 seconds. The diplay mode LEDs begin to flash after ~3 seconds, and then 2 seconds later the 608MFX is reset (All LED’s go briefly on and then off again).

This also restores defaults to the 608MFX (except those that are persistent). The reboot menu is displayed below.

CLI Commands

This section explains the commands of the CLI, their functions and syntax.

The commands that are available depend on the access level; in other words, whether you logged in as user or as administrator. Table 3–2 contains an overview of the commands available for the administrator and user. The command–line interface provides functions comparable with those available in Web–Based Management.

Symbols

Table 3–1 explains the symbols used with the CLI commands.

Symbol Meaning

<> Mandatory entry | Used to separate possible alternative input values in a command.

The factory default is shown on the extreme left. Only one of the possible values can be selected. Example:

aging <E|D>: You must either enter aging E (aging enabled) or aging D (aging disabled), E is the default.

[ ] Optional parameters. These options are used, for example, to be

able to address several port numbers at the same time. The individual optional extensions are separated by commas; you can address groups using dashes. Example: If you enter the numbers 2,5- 8 in the [ports] field of a command, this command applies to ports 2 and 5 to 8.

() Description of the commands.

Fast Input

To enter a command quickly, write the first letter or letters and then press the [Tab] key. If the required command is not shown, press the [Tab] key again.
