5.3.1.1 Bootloader Menu
The bootloader menu is accessed by typing
reset
at the command prompt. This menu is used
to establish IP/TCP and PPP interaction with the network. The FMS must be set up with an IP
address, Subnet Mask, and default router. These addresses can be obtained from your Network
Administrator or IT Department. To enable the SNMP receiving stations, or to create
communities, the FMS MIB, available on RLE’s website, must be loaded on a system(s)
running a Network Operating System (NOS). This MIB is compiled through standard
functions of the NOS. Consult with your Network Administrator for proper installation of the
FMS MIB on the NOS. Once the MIB is loaded, the FMS can be discovered and configured
over the network. For proper operation, the IP addresses configured in the FMS communities
must match the IP addresses on the receiving stations.
Only the administrator's username/password may be changed from this menu. All other Web
users must be changed via the Web interface.
