About iConfig
iConfig is an in-band configuration utility that lets users quickly and easily complete
the first stages of SNMP configuration for the SNMP-manageable devices.
Tasks iConfig can perform include:
• setting the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
• defining the community strings and SNMP traps
In addition to the above functions, iConfig offers an authorized IP address system
and access restriction to Management Information Base (MIB) groups supported by
our manageable devices. These extra layers of security are purely optional and do
not affect SNMP compatibility in any way.
iConfig can also be used to upload new versions of the system software and new
MIB information. It also offers diagnostic capabilities for faster resolution of
technical support issues. iConfig version 1.3 or above MUST be used for PROM
updates. HubControl32 and previous versions of iConfig will not work.
iConfig works with the following platforms:
• Windows 98
• Windows NT
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
The PrismaView software CD shipped with the Prisma EtherLinX unit includes
iConfig. For information regarding the use of iConfig, refer to the iConfig Help file.
