IR-IP Management Utility 

B-9 

At this stage, the communication with IR-IP router is lost, because its IP address 
has been changed. Therefore, you must reconfigure the destination IP address of 
the Telnet host. If you wish, you may also change the temporary IP address 
assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address. 

The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it 
operates. This means it is not necessary to turn ASMi-52 off before starting the 
configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will 
be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address. 
To change the LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP, use the procedure 
described above for a new IR-IP with the following differences: 
•  Configure the destination address of the ping utility to the new LAN interface 

IP address. It is not necessary to change the Telnet host source address. 

•  When ready, set section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to ON.  
•  The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second). 
•  Perform steps 4, 5 of the procedure used for a new IR-IP. 

The IR-IP interface module is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a 
basic terminal user interface. A typical screen is shown in 

. 

As seen in 

, each screen has a header that identifies the device being 

configured and its logical name, assigned by the user, followed by the running 
software revision and date. The bottom line of the screen displays prompts that 
guide you in the execution of the various activities. 
Use the following general procedures to perform the desired activity: 
•  To change a parameter or to select a menu item, type the corresponding line 

number. 

•  For a parameter, which has a discrete set of values, the parameter values are 

enclosed in brackets [ ]. To select a new value, press the spacebar to scroll 
among the available values until the desired value is displayed, and then press 
<Enter>

 to select the displayed value. 

•  To enter a value which requires free text entry, type in the desired string and 

then press <Enter>. Use backspace to erase the current string. 

•  After all the parameters have been selected, a prompt appears, requesting that 

you confirm the changes. 

 

For proper display of the screens, you must: 
•  Select a fixed-pitch system font for the display. Use your operating system 

•  Configure the Telnet utility to use VT-100 terminal emulation.
