2.1.3 Accessing the Embedded Management
System
The menu-based management system provides access to view and con-
figure many unit parameters and provides you with basic diagnostic and
maintenance tools. There are several tools that can be used to gain
access to the iNET Management System.
• Terminal-Emulator—Use a terminal emulator program on
your PC, such as HyperTerminal, connected directly to the
iNET
COM1 port via a serial cable.
• Telnet—Text-based access to the Management System through
a network connection.
• Web Browser—Connect to the iNET units using a Web
browser on a local PC connected directly to the iNET’s LAN
port or associated network.
The following are detailed procedures for connecting to the embedded
Management System.
Procedure with
Terminal Emulator
a. Connect a computer’s serial communications port to the iNET
COM1 Port connector.
b. Launch a terminal emulator program, such as HyperTerminal, on
the computer. Configure it to 19,200 bps data rate, 8-bit charac-
ters, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow-control. Use ANSI or
VT100 emulation.
c. Press the
ENTER key. The radio will respond with the start-up
screen similar to Figure 2-5 on page 24.
NOTE: If the iNET unit is powered up or rebooted while connected
with a terminal, you will see a series of pages of text informa-
tion relating to the booting of the unit’s microcomputer. Wait
for the initial iNET MS screen before proceeding. The boot
process takes approximately 30 seconds.
Procedure with
Telnet
a. Connect a personal computer’s Ethernet port to the LAN Port
connector on the iNET 900 using an Ethernet crossover cable or
connect the iNET to the network. (See Figure 3-3 on page 83 for
location.) The
LAN LED will light up.
b. Start the Telnet program on your computer targeting the IP
address of the iNET to which you are connected and press the
ENTER key.
For example, in Windows: Start>Run>Telnet
NOTE: Do not use the default IP address (192.168.1.1) if there
are multiple iNET units on the same network set with the default
address.
