3-1

The ELS100-16TX does not require any additional configuration to 
operate as a standard, transparent switch. However, if you want to 
use any of the ELS100-16TX advanced functions, you must first 
assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address to any of the ports on the 
ELS100-16TX that you use to communicate with a Simple Network 
Management Protocol (SNMP) manager.

To initially assign an IP address, you can use the Local Console 
Manager (LCM). LCM is a command-line interface built into the 
ELS100-16TX. It allows you to configure and manage the ELS100-
16TX through the out-of-band RS232C connection attached to any 
non-intelligent terminal, or a PC emulating a non-intelligent 
terminal. (See Section 3.1, Assigning IP Addresses.)

Once you have assigned an IP address, you can use any of the 
following network management tools to configure and manage the 
ELS100-16TX:

 • SPECTRUM

 • SPEL

 • SPMA

 • Any SNMP-based NMS

Configuration parameters are stored in an SNMP standard 
Management Information Base (MIB). All ELS100-16TX MIB 
variables are listed and described in the ELS100-16TX Release 
Notes.

There are some configuration options that cannot be configured 
using LCM commands. You may need to modify your configuration 
using an NMS. See Section 3.14, Modifying MIB Variables.
