3.0 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the location and orientation of the Model
3088RC’s configuration switches and jumpers, and provides detailed
instructions for all possible settings. Each 3088RC model has different
configuration requirements, depending on the card’s serial interface.
You can configure 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 configuration 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-configuration
mode. When set for software-configuration mode the RocketLink-G will
read any configuration data previously saved to FLASH memory during
system power-up. If no configuration data was previously saved to
FLASH, then the RocketLink-G will load the factory-default configuration
from FLASH memory. After power-up, you may use console commands
or the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC) to modify the configuration
parameters.
3.2 ABOUT HARWARE (DIP SWITCH) CONFIGURATION
To use DIP-switch configuration you must first 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)-configura-
tion mode. In DIP-switch-configuration mode the RocketLink-G will read
the DIP-switch settings during system startup and configure itself accord-
ing 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 configuration settings:
• Changing the DIP switch settings while the device is running will not
modify the operating configuration because the RocketLink-G only
reads the DIP switches during system startup.
• If you attempt to modify the configuration 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-configuration mode.
