MDS iNET 900 - Step 5-Connect Lan And;Or Serial Equipment

82 MDS iNET 900 User’s Guide MDS 05-2806A01, Rev. A
A unique IP address and subnet are required to access the browser-based
iNET Management System either through the
LAN port, or remotely
over-the-air.
3.6 STEP 5—CONNECT LAN AND/OR
SERIAL EQUIPMENT
Connect a local area network to the LAN port or serial devices to the
COM1 (DCE) or COM2 (DTE) ports. Make sure your iNET units are
capable of supporting your devices. (See Table 1-1 . MDS iNET 900
Models and Data Interface Services, on page 4 for a summary of model
capabilities.) The
LAN port will support any Ethernet-compatible equip-
ment. This includes devices that use the Internet Protocol (IP).
NOTE: The COM1 port also provides access to the iNET 900’s
Management System. If you use the COM1 port for normal data
services, you may find it convenient to use the LAN port for
access to the iNET Management System.
Figure 3-3 shows the default functions and services for the interface
connectors.
