  • Page 4: Installation

    3. Configuration There are no DIP switch or jumper settings that need to be modified in order to operate the basic functrions of the A/B Switch. There are however, several parameters related to Ethernet remote access/control and the automatic switching features that are configurable. These settings are described later in this manual. The internal jumpers and DIP switches inside the A/B Switch have been pre-configured at the factory and should not be changed from their default settings.

  • Page 5: Operation

    5. Operation When power is applied to the A/B Switch, one of the LED switch position indicators (A or B) on the front of the unit will illuminate to show the connection state of the switch. Indicator A lights when the switch is in position A, and Indicator B lights when the switch is in position B.

    and can be entered in upper or lower case. Note however, that password parameters are case sensitive. All commands must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 13 or hex 0x0D) before they will be accepted by the A/B Switch. Several commands can be abbreviated by using just the first character of each command word, for example the set/get system commands can be abbreviated using “g s”...

  • Page 7: Automatic Switching

    A/B Switch receives a command from the Ethernet network interface or from the serial RS232 interface. In addition the STATUS LED will blink when a switching command is issued via the remote control contacts or front panel push button switches. The A/B Switch also has the ability to issue either SNMP traps, or UDP syslog messages.
  • Page 8 Auto Failover & Auto Recovery Note: The A/B Switch monitors the WAN connections by PINGing the far side router thru the primary WAN link. If the primary WAN link fails, the A/B Switch auto switches to the backup WAN link. When the primary WAN link is available again, the A/B Switch auto switches back to the primary.
  • Page 9 6. Ethernet Network Interface Setup (Ethernet remote control capable models) To perform initial setup of the network management interface on the A/B Switch you will need a serial terminal capable of 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. Connect this terminal to the DB9 console connector on the A/B Switch.

  • Page 10: Console Commands

    7. Console Commands The following commands are available from the RS232 console port or from the Ethernet network port on models of the A/B Switch that support these remote control interfaces. All commands are case insensitive, although several parameters are case sensitive (read/write community names and web and telnet passwords). GET, SET, and SYSTEM can all be abbreviated by the first letter of the command.
  • Page 11 System Status: A SET SYSTEM A[B] Sets the system to position A or B. SET IPADDRESS X.X.X.X GET IPADDRESS Set or display the current IP address of the network module. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed. SET SUBNETMASK X.X.X.X GET SUBNETMASK Set or display the current subnet mask of the network module.
  • Page 12 Set or display the current state of web based access. The network module will not accept any HTTP requests when web enable is off. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed. SET WEBPASSWORD string GET WEBPASSWORD Set or display the current web password.
  • Page 13 provide an additional level of security. Any change will not become permanent until a SAVE and RESET operation sequence is performed. SET MONITORIP [X.X.X.X] GET MONITORIP Set or display the IP address of the device that the A/B Switch is to PING to determine the active port alternate (A) or normal (B).
  • Page 14 SET AUTHENTICATIONTRAP ON[OFF] GET AUTHENTICATIONTRAP Set or display the current state of authentication error traps. Authentication traps will be generated when this parameter is set to ON, and not when OFF. Note that this setting only affects the trap generation, and not how the network module handles an authentication failure.
  • Page 15 GET MANAGER N Display SNMP manager N (1-16) IP address. GET MANAGER Display all SNMP manager IP addresses. PING X.X.X.X Causes the A/B Switch to issue a single ICMP echo request packet to the designated IP address. If a response is received, the A/B Switch will display the message “Reply from X.X.X.X”.

    10. Traps Summary The A/B Switch can be configured to issue an SNMP trap when certain events occur. Use the “SET ALERTTYPE” command to enable traps, and use the “SET MANAGER N X.X.X.X” command to specify the IP addresses of up to 16 different NMS computers that you want to send these traps to (see section 7 for details regarding these commands).
