ISR Step By Step Configuration

13/7/2010

A. Getting Started
1. Install Java Platform.
The ISR does not require a specific management application, instead it uses a browser (e.g Internet Explorer, Firefox). Nevertheless java platform is required in order for the browser to display all aspects (get java platform free at http://www.java.com/). Connect the PC to the ISR NMS port.

2. Assign an IP address to the PC.

1. Select Start Connect To Show all connections. 2. Right-click the Local Area Connection and select Properties. 3. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box and click Properties.

2. Select TCP/IP

3. Click Properties 1. Click Properties

The manufacturer provides the ISR units with 192.168.0.1 as the default IP addresses. Note: Make sure that the IDU is not connected to the network (if necessary disconnect IF cable). a) Check if it is the default IP. Set: 1. IP Address:192.168.0.254* 2. Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0 3. Default Gateway: Note: * When connected to the Network use any from (2-254) as long as it is not used as an IDU IP. Ping the IDR-LC: 1. Select: Start Run 2. Type cmd & press ENTER. 3. Type ping 192.168.0.1 & press ENTER.

ISR Step By Step Configuration If the IDU does have IP 192.168.0.1 you will get a reply.

13/7/2010

b) If there is no reply:

Check connectivity. Change NMS port

c) If it doesnt seem to be hardware related: Use Serial Connection to find out the IP (see User Manual). Use the IP you find to log in. d) If serial cable is not available: Set ISR to default IP address (see User Manual). Repeat step a) (Check if it is the default IP) to verify IDU IP address has been set to default.
