6.6.1 Setting the IP Address
Set the IP address by performing the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.
2. Enter the IP address into this field using Decimal Dotted Notation
(DDN) format.
For example: 134.141.79.120
3. Press ENTER. If the IP address is a valid format, the cursor returns to
the beginning of the IP address field. If the entry is not valid, the Event
Message Line displays “INVALID IP ADDRESS OR FORMAT
ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value and
refreshes the IP address field with the previous value.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press
ENTER. The “SAVED OK” message appears indicating that the
changes have been saved to memory.
6.6.2 Setting the Subnet Mask
If the management workstation that is to receive SNMP traps from the
8H02-16 is located on a separate subnet, the subnet mask for the 8H02-16
must be changed from its default.
To change the subnet mask from its default, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Subnet Mask field.
2. Enter the subnet mask into this field using Decimal Dotted Notation
(DDN) format.
For example: 255.255.0.0
NOTE
The device automatically resets after a new IP address is
saved.
