5.10 Accessing the Modem through a Network
5.10.1 Configuring the network address
The modem network access can be configured by using the tsetcfg / rsetcfg commands.
The commands syntax is as follows;
# tsetcfg ipaddress aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
↵
and
# tsetcfg netmask www.xxx.yyy.zzz
↵
Figure 30: Configuring the Tx Network Address
This command is used to configure the network address for the interface P6 (M&C mode for AMT-70)
or J9 (M&C mode for the AMT-73L). This is the main management interface for the modem. The Telnet
command line interface (CLI) is accessed through this interface. Telnet supports the same command
set than the RS232 CLI interface described in this manual.
A second interface specific to the demodulator (P1 for AMT-70, or J10 for the AMT-73L) can also be
configured with the following commands;
# rsetcfg ipaddress aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
↵
and
# rsetcfg netmask www.xxx.yyy.zzz
↵
Figure 31: Configuring the Rx Network Address
This port is used exclusively for the demodulator firmware updates.
By default, at manufacturing time, the ports are set at the network address 192.169.1.132 / subnet
mask 255.255.255.0 for the main port P1 and 192.169.1.133 / subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for the port
P2.

Finally, as soon the network addresses are set, they are activated immediately. The modem does not
need to be rebooted for performing this function.
