2.4.2 Network Connections

When connecting the PC to the ONS 15327 through a LAN, the PC's IP address must be configured to
be on the same subnet as the ONS 15327's LAN interface. If needed, change the IP address configuration
on the PC.
Procedure: Access the ONS 15327 from a LAN
Change the ONS 15327 IP address to an IP address that exists on the LAN. (See the
Step 1
Information" procedure on page 3-3
Ensure that the ONS 15327 is physically connected to the LAN (typically using a cross-over cable to a
Step 2
hub or switch).
You can connect to either the active or standby XTC using the LAN or CRAFT port, but cannot connect
Note
to both cards simultaneously. Connecting to both the active and standby XTC at the same time results in
a loss of connectivity.
If you changed the PC network settings for direct access to the ONS 15327, change the settings back to
Step 3
the LAN access settings. Usually this means setting the IP Address on the TCP/IP dialog box back to
"Obtain an IP address automatically" (Windows 95/98) or "Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server"
(Windows NT/2000). If your LAN requires that DNS or WINS be enabled, change the setting on the
DNS Configuration or WINS Configuration tab of the TCP/IP dialog box.
If your computer is connected to a proxy server, disable proxy service or add the ONS 15327 nodes as
Step 4
exceptions.
Start your web browser and type the ONS 15327 IP address in the URL field.
Step 5
Procedure: Disable Proxy Service Using Internet Explorer (Windows)
Complete these steps if your computer is connected to a proxy server and your browser is Internet
Explorer.
From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel.

ping [ONS 15327 IP address]
For example, you would type "ping 192.1.0.2" to connect to an ONS 15327 with default IP address

displays.
If your PC is not connected, a Request timed out message displays. If this occurs, check that the
cables connecting the PC to the ONS 15327 are securely attached. Check the Link Status LED on
the PC NIC card. Repeat the procedures provided in
information.
