3.0 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
3088RC’s conÞguration switches and jumpers, and provides detailed
instructions for all possible settings. Each 3088RC model has different
conÞguration requirements, depending on the card’s serial interface.
You can conÞgure the 3088RC using either the software (CLI via a
1001CC port) or the hardware (via DIP switches).
3.1 ABOUT SOFTWARE (CLI) CONFIGURATION
To use software conÞguration you must set DIP switches S1 and S2 to
the
ON
position, and set DIP Switch S3 to the management address,
before powering-up the RocketLink-G. When DIP switches S1 and S2
are set to
ON
, the RocketLink-G will operate in software-conÞguration
mode. When set for software-conÞguration mode the RocketLink-G will
read any conÞguration data previously saved to FLASH memory during
system power-up. If no conÞguration data was previously saved to
FLASH, then the RocketLink-G will load the factory-default conÞguration
from FLASH memory. After power-up, you may use console commands
or the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) to modify the conÞguration
parameters.
3.2 ABOUT HARWARE (DIP SWITCH) CONFIGURATION
To use DIP-switch conÞguration you must Þrst set the DIP switches to a
position other than all
OFF
or all
ON
before powering-up the RocketLink-
G. When all the DIP switches are set to any position other than all
OFF
or all
ON
the RocketLink-G will operate in hardware (DIP-switch)-conÞg-
uration mode. In DIP-switch-conÞguration mode the RocketLink-G will
read the DIP-switch settings during system startup and conÞgure itself
according to the switch settings.
Once you power-up the RocketLink-G in DIP-switch mode it will operate
in DIP-switch mode until powered down. When operating in DIP-switch
mode you cannot change any conÞguration settings:
• Changing the DIP switch settings while the device is running will not
modify the operating conÞguration because the RocketLink-G only
reads the DIP switches during system startup.
• If you attempt to modify the conÞguration by issuing console com-
mands, the device will not execute your commands. Instead, the Rock-
etLink-G will respond with a message indicating the device is
operating in DIP-switch-conÞguration mode.
