Using a Local Terminal
You can configure LanProbe by connecting a terminal directly to LanProbe and
using the LanProbe’s Main Menu. Refer to the following sections for additional
information on configuring LanProbe after you access the LanProbe’s Main
Menu:
“Modify/View Configuration Values” on page 18
“Modify/View Security Values” on page 20
“Modify/View Interface Values” on page 21
“Display Interface Summary” on page 23
“Modify/View Serial Port Settings” on page 24
NOTE
The LanProbe is not available to the network when you are in it’s configuration
menus.
Use the following procedure to access LanProbe’s Main Menu:
1. Connect a terminal or a personal computer (PC) emulating a terminal to the
LanProbe’s RS-232 connector using a null modem cable. For more
information on cables, refer to Appendix A “Cables and Connectors”.
2. Configure the terminal for 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff
handshaking, and a baud rate of 9600.
3. Connect the Agilent Power Module (0950-2546) to the LanProbe and to a
power source (either 100-120/VAC or 220-240/VAC). The LanProbe does
not have a power switch, but is turned on by connecting power.
4. Start the configuration by quickly pressing the CONFIG button on the back
of LanProbe one time only. After about 10 seconds, LanProbe displays its
Main Menu on the terminal. Figure 2-4 on page 17 shows LanProbe’s Main
Menu. If the Main Menu is not displayed, verify that the previous steps in
this procedure have been performed correctly.
