Basic Device Management - Moxa Technologies EtherDevice User Manual

Basic Device Management

In addition to using MOXA EtherDevice Server's fast Ethernet switching ability, as
described in the previous section, some users will also want to take advantage of some of
EDS's basic management and monitoring functions. EDS functions that can be accessed
over the LAN, after setting up EDS's IP address, or that can be accessed via EDS's
Console port, include:
1. Monitor
2. Line-Swap fast recovery
3. Set device IP
4. Mirror port
5. Network segment integrity
6. Cable tester
7. Port/Server setup
To be able to access EDS's functions over the network (by Telnet or Web Browser) from a
PC host that is connected to the same LAN as EDS, you need to make sure that the PC host
and EDS are on the same logical subnetwork. To do this, check your PC host's IP address
and netmask. By default, EDS's IP address is 192.168.127.253 and EDS's netmask is
255.255.0.0 (for a Class B network). If you do not change these values, and your PC host's
netmask is 255.255.0.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.xxx.xxx. On the
other hand, if your PC host's netmask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must have the
form 192.168.127.xxx.
NOTE To use EDS's management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the
same LAN as EDS, you must make sure that the PC host and EDS are on the same logical
subnetwork.
