Remote Administration
AX3000 Models 90 - User's Manual 245
The AxRM software allows system administrators to manage and configure Axel
TCP/IP products remotely over a network. The remote Axel device is selected
by its IP address or network name. (The software can also assign an IP address
to a newly installed thin client that has not had an IP address set)
AxRM is an abbreviation for Axel Remote Management software.
AxRM is used for:
- Obtaining hardware and firmware revision levels
- Obtaining Ethernet and serial line configuration
- Obtaining network and device statistics
- Obtaining set-up configuration
- Rebooting the peripheral
- Remotely configuring a peripheral
- Downloading firmware,
- Entering the interactive set-up via a telnet client.
It is also possible:
- To build and manage a thin client database,
- To compile a list (batch) of commands to run consecutively,
- To download a firmware though BOOTP,
- To set IP addresses by using the device MAC address.
- Repair thin clients that have lost their firmware (bootp error)
For more information about the AxRM utility, read the manual "Axel Remote
