Page 24: Accessing The System Console
Accessing the System Console There are several ways to access the Model 2285. These methods are dependent on whether the user is located at a local site or a remote site, or whether the user requires a menu-driven interface, graphic menu system or CLI (Command Line Interface).
Page 25: Using Remote Console
All the parameters can be stored into the non-volatile mem- ory space of the Model 2285, but the settings will not be stored until users enter “save” command on the menu. All the conﬁguration change will be effective after entering “apply” command on the menu.

Page 30: Ip Configuration
When using a Static IP address, the user must manually specify all the conﬁguration parameters associated with the IP address of the Model 2285. These include the IP address, the network subnet mask, the gateway com- puter and the domain name server computers. This section will look at each of these in more detail.
Page 31: Ip Address
A subnet represents all the network hosts in one logical location, such as a building or local area network (LAN). The Model 2285 will use the subnet mask setting to verify the origin of all packets. If the desired TCP/IP host speciﬁed in the packet is in the same geographic location (on the local network segment) as deﬁned by the subnet mask, the Model 2285 will establish a direct connection.
Page 32 Model 2285 address. In order to reserve the IP address in the DHCP network, the adminis- trator needs the MAC address of the Model 2285 found on the label sticker at the bottom of the Model 2285.
Page 33: Snmp Configurations
MIB-II System objects Conﬁguration MIB-II System objects conﬁguration sets the System Contact, Name, Location, and Authentication-failure traps used by the SNMP agent of the Model 2285. These settings provide the values used for the MIB-II sys- Name, sysContact, sysLocation, sysService and enableAuthenTrap.

Page 35: Management Using Snmp
Dynamic DNS Conﬁguration When users connect the Model 2285 to a DSL line or use a DHCP conﬁguration, the IP address might be changed whenever it reconnects to the network. It can therefore be very difﬁcult to post all related contacts for each new IP address.

Input ﬁeld to describe a speciﬁc range of host on the network. The user may allow a host or a group of hosts to access the Model 2285. The user must then enter the IP address and subnet of access. Any user on a remote host must stay in the speciﬁed subnet boundary to access the Model 2285.
Page 40: Syslog Server Configuration
Overview If users want the Model 2285 to work as a server (TCP or UDP), the host acting as a client has to know the IP address of the Model 2285. However, under the dynamic IP address environment such as DHCP, arbitrary IP address can be assigned to the Model 2285, which means special consideration is required to access the current IP address of it.

If the NFS service is enabled and the NFS server conﬁguration is properly set up, the user may conﬁgure the storage location for the system log or port data log of the If there is a ﬁrewall between the Model 2285 and the SYSLOG server, there must be a rule that allows all outgoing and incoming UDP packets to travel across the Model 2285 as the NFS server.
Page 43 TCP keep-alive intervals: This represents the waiting period until a “keep-alive” packet is retransmitted. The default value is 5 seconds. By default, the Model 2285 will send the keep-alive packets 3 times with 5 seconds interval after 15 seconds have elapsed since the time when there’s no data transmitted back and forth.

Page 48: Port Enable/Disable
The Model 2285 operating mode is called the “host mode.” Three host modes are available: • TCP mode: The Model 2285 works as both TCP server and client. This mode works for most applications, since it will transfer the data either from serial port or from TCP port. If there is no connection established on a TCP port, the TCP port accepts a connection request from any registered remote hosts and relays the transmitted data to the coupled serial port.
Page 49: Tcp Mode
[Closed]—It means “no connection state”. If the data transfer between a remote host and the Model 2285 is completed, the state is changed to this state as a result that either of the remote host or the Model 2285 sent a disconnection request. After this, the state is automatically changed to [Listen] mode.
Page 50 Incoming connection request(s) to the ports other than TCP Listening Port will be rejected. The Model 2285 does restrict the port number from 1024 to 65535 and if it is set as 0 only outgoing con- nection is permitted. (TCP server mode)
Page 51 Max. allowed connection The Model 2285 supports up to 8 multiple connections from external host(s) to the serial port. If there are remote host connections by the remote host list conﬁguration already, possible number of connection will be reduced (Max. allowed connection - remote host(s) connected already). For example, if user set Max.
Page 52: State Transition Diagram Of Tcp Mode
Figure 24. State Transition Diagram of TCP mode Inactivity Timeout When Inactivity Timeout function is enabled, connection between remote host(s) and Model 2285 will be closed automatically if there is no data transmission during the value which is set in Inactivity Timeout conﬁguration.
Page 53: Udp Mode
1) Operations If a remote host sends a UDP datagram to the one of UDP Local port of the Model 2285, Model 2285 ﬁrst checks whether it is from one of the hosts conﬁgured on remote host conﬁguration. If the remote host is one of the hosts conﬁgured on remote host conﬁguration, then Model 2285 transfers the data through the serial port.

Page 59 And the maximum possible number of primary remote host is limited up to 4 remote connections. In UDP mode, user can only conﬁgure a primary remote host because there is no way for Model 2285 to check status of primary remote host, so secondary remote host is meaningless.
