Configuring EthIR LAN
Introduction
Please read through this section of the User Guide before performing any
configurations. This section describes how to:
1. Configure the EthIR Switch.
2. Use the CSI Configuration Tool.
Each step is described in the following sections.
Configure EthIR Switch
The EthIR Switch requires configuration to support handheld PCs running “PPP over
IR” (hereinafter called “IR/PPP Devices”) such as Windows CE devices, Palm
Organizers (IIIx, IIIxe, V, Vx, and VII), and Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP notebooks
running ClarinetIR™ or Direct Cable Connection (DCC). Configuration is also
needed to manage the Switch using SNMP (the EthIR Switch supports up to four
SNMP managers), or update the Switch’s firmware. In these cases you must specify
an IP address for the Switch using the CSI Configuration Tool if you are to interact
with an existing network. A complete description of the Tool and instructions on
setting the Switch IP address follows:
CSI Configuration Tool
The CSI Configuration Tool provides a way to do setup and firmware upgrades for
Clarinet Switches.
The following requirements must be met to use the Configuration Tool:
9 A Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP PC or notebook with TCP/IP protocol
installed (described in Binding TCP/IP Protocol for Notebook section in
APPENDIX A).
The Tool can run on a PC with an Ethernet adapter or infrared port
**
. If the Tool is
running on a PC using Ethernet, the PC’s Ethernet adapter must be connected to an
Ethernet network which the EthIR Switch should also be connected to. If the Tool is
running on a notebook using infrared, the notebook can be connected to the EthIR
**
infrared port option is not available for Windows NT.
