Note: We recommend that the USB-to-Serial Adapter (94000-115200) is installed in one of the
two USB ports when the system is powered on. If not, you may need to power the system down,
plug the cable in and re-apply power. The USB/Serial Cables are programmed to provide users
access to the command port (94000-115200) or to communicate with a 5071A Cesium Clock
(94001-5071A). These cables are NOT interchangeable.
Caution: By default pressing and holding the Display pushbutton on the front panel for ~10
seconds will reset the IP address to the default of 192.168.0.1. The default IP address will display
on the front panel after it is set. If the button is held down too long and the IP Address is set to
the default by mistake, you may be able to clear this by pulling the LAN connection on the rear
panel and plugging the connector back in. If not, power-cycle the unit to restore the proper
network settings. This front panel IP reset feature can be disabled using the frontpanel_button
command. Users are cautioned that the reset feature is ON by default and must be turned off if
this is not the desired behavior.
2.2.3 Setting a Static IP Address
Use the following steps to set the IP Address on the ATS-6501.
A. Telnet into the system telnet ip addr 1700 or connect to the unit via the OP001 Command
Port Cable and the ATS-6501> prompt should appear.
B. Use the network_config command and options to set the system to the desired network
settings.
network_config --mode <DHCP|static> --ip <ip addr> --mask <mask> --broadcast <broadcast> --
gateway <gateway>]
[Example]
network_config --mode static --ip 192.168.1.50 --mask 255.255.255.0 --broadcast 192.168.1.255
--gateway 192.168.1.1
C. These network settings will take effect immediately. Users should see the following:
<working> ……….. Once timed out, the connection will drop.
D. Users connected via the network will need to reconnect to the system using the newly
assigned static IP Address. Users do not need to save these changes; they are
automatically stored on the system. The ATS-6501 will start up with the new settings
each time it is rebooted or power cycled.
E. Users can also view the current network settings using the network command. This will
display the current user settings.
