Making Contact Between The Smn And Pc For Initial Configuration - Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH SMN 6TX/2POF-PN User Manual

4 Configuration and diagnostics
8089_en_03
The Smart Managed Narrow switch (SMN) offers several user interfaces for accessing con-
figuration and diagnostic data. The preferred interfaces are the web interface and SNMP in-
terface. These two interfaces can be used to make all necessary settings and request all in-
formation.
Access via the RS-232 interface only enables access to basic information and supports
basic configuration. However, the RS-232 interface also enables firmware update via TFTP
in the event of faulty firmware.
Settings are not automatically saved permanently. The active configuration can be saved
permanently by selecting "Save current configuration" on the "Configuration Manage-
ment" web page. Additional saving options are also available via SNMP or RS-232.
4.1 Making contact between the SMN and PC for initial
configuration
4.1.1 Operation with static IP addresses
To enable the SMN to be accessed using the desired IP address, make sure that the com-
puter and the SMN are in the same IP subnetwork. To do this, for initial contact your com-
puter must be configured so that contact is possible. The following screenshots were cre-
ated under Windows XP Professional.
Please note that the switch does not support supernetting or classless interdomain rout-
ing.
