4.2.2 Initial Card Configuration via GUI
MES cards with diagnostics FW 922-1008-00 (uC DIAG) version ≥ 0xA4 can be configured using Focal's sample
922-MES GUI P/N 922-0408-00. More details of the GUI are shown in the "Graphical User Interface (GUI)"
section of this document.
The card configuration procedure using the GUI is similar to the Telnet procedure. However, when using the
GUI the user should following steps.
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable between your PC and CU1 (or any other copper port) of the card under
configuration.
2. Power up the card (+24 VDC).
3. Run the 922-MES GUI and follow the steps below in sequential order:
a. Add a new card configuration by clicking the top left corner "+" button (default factory diagnostics IP
address is 192.168.0.100).
b. Click the "Connect" button.
c. Click System Maintenance Boot Config Open Boot Config Editor. The "Model 922 Boot Config
Editor" window will appear.
d. Make the desired card configuration changes. E.g. SFP settings, MRP (if available), RSTP changes,
etc.
Note that in the "Model 922 Config Editor" window, changes made by the user will only take effect after
the "Save Configuration" button is pressed and after one subsequent power cycle.
To make experimental volatile changes (not saved in EEPROM) the "Ethernet Switch Settings" section
of the GUI should be used.
e. Click the "Save Configuration" button to save the new card settings to EEPROM.
f.
Power-cycle one (1) time ONLY the card under configuration.
g. Wait for GUI reconnection.
h. Verify the card's functionality and that the changes are as expected.
i.
A GUI message will appear asking the user to confirm if the changes are ok.
i.
If the user accepts the changes then the card will keep the new user configuration.
ii.
If the user ignores the changes and does not confirm the changes via the GUI then the card will
revert to the last known configuration on the next power-cycle.
4. Change the diagnostics IP address via Telnet (if required) following the steps shown in the previous section
4.2.1 step 4c.
5. Power cycle the card for the changes to take effect.
6. (Optional) Reconnect with the GUI and then re-open the "Model 922 Boot Config Editor" window and click
"Export Configuration" to save a copy of the new user configuration to your local PC.
7. Done! The initial card configuration is completed.
