Configuring The MCR-MGT Module
There are a number of methods which may be used to configure
the MCR-MGT module. They are;
•Command Line or Menu interface via a direct serial connection
to the console port
•Command Line or Manu interface via Telnet or SSH to module
•SNMP
•HTTP or HTTPS to Module
All of the above (except for the serial connection on the console
port) require IP access to the MCR-MGT Module. The module is
pre-configured with an IP address of 10.0.0.10 with a subnet mask
of 255.0.0.0. If the PC that you are using does not reside on this
subnet, you will need to modify the IP address of the MCR-MGT
module.
This document will discuss two methods for setting the MCR-MGT
module’s IP address. For detailed information on how to configure
all the features of the MCR-MGT Module, please see the MCR-
MGT Management Module User’s Guide.
IP Address Setup Using The “Perle SetIP” Utility
On the CD provided with the MCR-MGT module, you will find an
executable called “Perle SetIP”. You can run it directly from the
CD or copy it to your local PC drive and execute it from there.
When the program runs, you can do the following;
1. From the list of devices displayed, click on the MCR-MGT
module you wish to set the IP address on and then click on the
“Assign IP” button at the top of the screen. Please note that
this operation will only be valid on MCR-MGT modules which
are in a “factory default” state.
2. To manually assign the IP address, click on “Assign IP
manually”, key in the desired IP address and press the “Assign
IP” button. If a DHCP server is available on this subnet, you
can choose to have the module obtain its IP address via your
DHCP server by clicking on the “Assign IP using DHCP” button
and then pressing the “Assign IP” button.
3. For modules which have been assigned IP address, you can
click on the “manage” button on the top of the screen to launch
a browser session with the selected MCR-MGT module. You
can achieve the same result by manually launching your
browser and entering the IP address of the module in the
browsers address field.
