Advanced Device Management - Moxa Technologies EtherDevice User Manual

Advanced Device Management

Some users will want to use MOXA EtherDevice Server's full range of
management and monitoring functions. This not only includes such
functions as Monitor, Auto Warning, Mirror Port, and Segment Integrity,
mentioned in the previous section, but also Advanced EDS functions that
allow you to configure EDS's own network parameters, and functions that
let you assign IP addresses to connected devices, such as:
1. Auto warning (by e-mail or by relay output)
2. DHCP
3. Communication Redundancy
4. SNMP
All of EDS's management and monitoring functions are discussed in
detail in Chapter 3 of the User's Manual.
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. If
your LAN connects to a WAN or the Internet by a router, then check with
your network administrator to determine the IP address you should enter
for EDS's Gateway setting.
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.
