Navigating The Cattrax Router Screens - PESA Cougar 3 User Manual

The upper window displays by IP address and name the network interface devices available to Cattrax.
In many installations there is only one entry in the window and by default this would be the device used
by Cattrax. If there are multiple entries, as would be the case, for example, if the host PC contains both
an Ethernet cable NIC and a wireless adapter, the device Cattrax is currently communicating through is
shown in bold type. You may select the network interface device you wish Cattrax to use by double-
clicking the entry in the listing. Be sure that the network interface device you select is communicating
over the subnet(s) containing the Cougar3 router you wish to control.
Subnets currently available to Cattrax are listed in the second window under the Subnet column. A
check in the box beside an entry indicates that Cattrax is actively communicating over that subnet and
will automatically discover PESA devices on it. If you wish to prevent Cattrax from communicating
over a specific subnet, click the checkbox to remove the check. If you need to add additional subnets or
modify address parameters of currently available subnets use the buttons to the right of the display
window as follows:
•
Add – allows you to add subnets to the list of those available. Clicking the Add button opens
the screen shown here.
Ensure that the IP & Netmask radio button is selected. Enter the subnet address you wish to add
in the IP and Netmask fields of the window. Click OK to enter the parameter. The new entry is
added to the listing and the checkbox will be checked to activate the new subnet. Do not modify
the Broadcast IP field entry.
•
Edit – allows you to modify address parameters of any entry in the listing. Highlight the entry
you wish to modify and click the Edit button. The Subnet menu is displayed with current
parameters for the entry listed. Make any changes you wish and enter OK to commit the
changes.
•
Remove – allows you to remove any subnet from the listing. Highlight the entry you wish to
delete and click the Remove button. The entry is immediately removed from the listing.
