A. Getting Started

1. Install Java Platform.

The ISR does not require a specific management application, instead it uses a

browser (e.g Internet Explorer, Firefox). Nevertheless java platform is required in or-

der for the browser to display all aspects (get java platform free at

http://www.java.com/).

• Connect the PC to the ISR NMS port.

2. Assign an IP address to the PC.

1. Select Start��Connect To��Show all connections.

2. Right-click the Local Area Connection and select Properties.

3. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box and click Properties.

The manufacturer provides the ISR units with 192.168.0.1 as the default IP addresses.

Note: Make sure that the IDU is not connected to the network (if necessary discon-

nect IF cable).

a) Check if it is the default IP.

Set:

1. IP Address:192.168.0.254*

2. Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0

3. Default Gateway: -

Note: * When connected to the Network

use any from (2-254) as long as it is not

used as an IDU IP.

Ping the IDR-LC:

1. Select: Start��Run

2. Type cmd & press ENTER. 3. Type “ping 192.168.0.1” & press

ENTER.

1. Click Properties

2. Select TCP/IP

3. Click Properties


4

If the IDU does have IP 192.168.0.1 you will get a reply.

b) If there is no reply:

•••• Check connectivity.

•••• Change NMS port

c) If it doesn’t seem to be hardware related:

•••• Use Serial Connection to find out the IP (see User Manual).

•••• Use the IP you find to log in.

d) If serial cable is not available:

• Set ISR to default IP address (see User Manual).

• Repeat step a) (Check if it is the default IP) to verify IDU IP address has

been set to default.
