Telnet:
On the host computer activate a command prompt window. Enter Telnet 192.168.1.21
and a cursor should appear on the left of the screen. Type the password command,
CPE=1234, and the response will be IBUC>_. Commands may now be entered to
access the IBUC functionality. (See the entire command list in Chapter 6).
Web Server:
On the host computer activate a web browser window. In the address window type
HTTP://192.168.1.21 and press enter. Within a few seconds you should see the login
screen. On the login screen, enter 1234 in the login box and press the Login button.
You will be taken to the Alarm Status page where you can select from the following web
pages:
• Alarm Status
• Transmit Status
• Transmit Config
• Interface Config
• System Config
• Alarm Config
The “Status” pages enable monitoring of various IBUC parameters. Alarms are color
coded with green indicating OK, orange as a warning, and red as an alarm condition.
The “Configuration” pages provide access for changing factory default settings to suit
specific site or network requirements. Settings take effect when you press the “Update”
button. Note that some changes in configuration will cause a loss of communication with
the host computer. It will then be necessary to make the corresponding change in the
host computer. For an example, here are instructions on changing a unit’s IP address
(using the default settings):
Navigate to the “Interface Config” page
Change the IP address to something other than 192.168.1.21 (the factory default)
Press “Update”.
Note that IP address changes will not take effect in the IBUC until it is reset. Using the
Webpage to change address will reset the unit automatically. In the host computer web
browser type the new address and come back in through the Login page.
RS232:
No configuration of the IBUC is required for proper RS232 operation. The RS232 port
uses ASCII protocol and a fixed baud rate of 9600 for communication. On the host
computer set the serial port settings to the following: Baud rate to 9600, data bits to 8,
parity to none, stop bits to 1, and flow control to none. The IBUC can be accessed using
a terminal program on the host computer such as HyperTerminal. Hit enter several
times and you should see the “IBUC>” prompt. Type CPE=1234 and the IBUC> prompt
should return. The IBUC is now ready to accept commands.
