Introduction
The IR-IP interface module management subsystem supports the following
functions:
• Preliminary configuration
• Configuration of management access parameters
• Advanced configuration of IR-IP parameters
• Collection and display of statistical performance data
• Maintenance functions, which include:

Software downloading
Resetting of various subsystems
Display of error log
Ping utility, for checking IP connectivity.
The management subsystem of the IR-IP interface module is a separate,
independent entity, and therefore it cannot be managed through the ASM-60
management subsystem.
The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the
management subsystem.
The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the
local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BASE-T, using
the Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access.

Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem
The IR-IP interface module must be configured in accordance with the specific
requirements of the user’s application before it can be used in the user’s network.
As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-IP to start
As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-IP to start
service without any preliminary configuration.
Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure
Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure
IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a default set of parameters. The default parameters
are automatically used:
• Before the IP router is configured by the user, e.g., when a new ASM-60 with

• After the user’s configuration parameters have been erased.

(about three times per second).
The flashing of the ERR indicator also serves as a warning to the user that the IR-IP
WAN (VDSL) interface does not send, nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-
IP can be accessed only from the LAN.
After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in
accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters.
To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish communication
from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.
