Auto-configuration is supported by the M65c and all M75 based products.
Note: the auto-configuration mechanism requires minimum version 2.0.2 of
AxRM (available free from
www.axel.com ).
For more information on AxRM’s action in the auto-configuration process, see
the manual "Axel Remote Management - Version 2", available from
www.axel.com .
The auto-configuration process:
- Is automatically initiated when power is applied to a brand new terminal
or if the terminal is reset to factory defaults - see A.10.1 appendix.
- may be started at each terminal boot time. For more information see
Chapter 3.7.2.
The stages are:
- Checking the network (link),
- DHCP request sent to obtain an IP address and other parameters
(optional),
- Terminal contacts the AxRM server,
- Firmware file sent (if required), followed by a reboot,
- Configuration file sent, followed by a reboot.
2.2.1 - Stage 1: Checking the Network
When the terminal is powered up the network connection is tested. The terminal
displays ‘Checking Network Link’. If a network connection is detected, a
message ' Auto-Conf' is shown. The terminal passes to stage 2.
Auto-conf.
2.2.2 - Stage 2: Sending DHCP requests
To obtain an IP address (and possibly of other parameters) a DHCP request is
sent. If a DHCP server is available its IP address is shown in the status line:
Auto-conf. / DHCP: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd /
The terminal passes to stage 3
