The two available options are as follows: Option W8 includes an HTML script interface which allows the user to monitor and control product parameters using a standard web browser. Option W18 includes an HTML script interface, as described above, and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) control. Contact Cross Technologies for the SNMP MIB file. 3.1 Methods of Connection 3.1.1 Direct Connection to a PC For control from a local PC, attach the product’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet network connector on the PC using a crossover RJ-45 cable. 3.1.2 LAN Connection For LAN connections, attach the product’s Ethernet port to the LAN using a normal RJ-45 cable. Use any PC on the LAN to connect to the product. 3.2 Ethernet Configuration Each product must be configured with an appropriate IP address, Netmask, and Gateway assigned by your network manager. The product is set at the factory with a static address that is written on a tag attached to the unit. The device server in the product has a built in HTTP based configuration manager that is used to configure network settings. To access the configuration manager open a web browser and enter the IP address of the product in the browser's address field. The window shown in Figure 1-A will appear. As delivered, there is no password set. Choose your user name and password here or leave those fields blank and click OK to proceed to the configuration manager web page. Figure 2.5: Password Screen 2017-02 Manual, Rev G Page 20 09/14/09 Figure 2.6: Configuration Manager Screen In the left frame of the configuration manager click on Network to display the Network Settings screen. Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address with delimiter dots (example: 192.168.192.47). Click to apply settings in the left frame to apply the new settings in the network device. 3.3 Webpage M & C Enter the following address in a web browser to access the M & C webpage: http://<ip address of 2017-02>/serial/0/setup.htm where <ip address> is the IP address of the unit. Figure 2.7 shows the webpage from a model 2017-02 frequency converter. 2017-02 Manual, Rev G Page 21 09/14/09 Model: 2017-02 Figure 2.7: Model 2017-02 Webpage 3.4 SNMP Configuration (Option W18) Setting of SNMP parameters such as Community Write and Community Read strings requires a Telnet connection to port 9999. The following instructions explain how to establish such a Telnet connection using Windows XP's Hyper Terminal utility . Start the Hyper Terminal application and select “New Connection” from the “File” drop down menu. The next screen is a “Connect To” dialog box. Select TCP/IP (Winsock) from the “Connect using:” drop down menu. Enter the IP address of the 2017-02 in the “Host address:” field and 9999 in the “Port number:” field. Figure 2.8 shows an example of the Hyper Terminal settings required to access the SNMP configuration menu. 2017-02 Manual, Rev G Page 22 09/14/09 Figure 2.8: Telnet Settings in Hyper Terminal Once the Telnet connection is established you will be prompted to “Press Enter for Setup Mode”. Press enter and a menu of device server configuration options will appear. Select menu item 3, “SNMP configuration”. You will be prompted to enter SNMP community read and write strings. After setting your desired community strings you will be prompted to “Enter IP addresses for SNMP traps:”. You must enter at least one and up to four IP addresses of SNMP managers that will access the unit. This is required even though SNMP traps are not implemented. The unit will not process SNMP SET and GET requests from an SNMP manager unless the IP address associated with that manager is entered in the device server. IMPORTANT: After “save and exit” is selected, the product’s power must be cycled off and on for the SNMP settings to load properly. 2017-02 Manual, Rev G Page 23 09/14/09 Figure 2.9: Device Server Configuration Menu 2017-02 Manual, Rev G Page 24 09/14/09 CROSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 6170 Shiloh Road Alpharetta, Georgia 30005 (770) 886-8005 FAX (770) 886-7964 Toll Free 888-900-5588 WEB www.crosstechnologies.com E-MAIL [email protected] Printed in USA 2017-02 Manual, Rev G Page 25 09/14/09 ">
