ASMi-52 Ver. 2.5 

IR-IP Management Subsystem 

B-5 

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 ASMi-52 
management subsystem. 
The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the 
local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BaseT, using the 
Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access. 

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 
service without any preliminary configuration. 
Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure 
IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a factory-default set of parameters. The factory-default 
parameters are automatically used: 
•  Before the IP router is configured by the user, e.g., when a new ASMi-52 with 

IR-IP interface module is put into operation 

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

When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on the 
ASMi-52 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes rapidly 
(about three times per second).
