EPL-1000 GUI Personality Setup
The EPL-1000 supports a 10/100Mb Management interface for User-Friendly GUI
Management. Prior to installing the GUI, it may be necessary to modify the Host and
Management IP addresses configuration stored in the OLT personality flash. It can either be
left as the defaults or changed to suit your own network environment.
You can see what the current settings are by typing the following commands.

Commands shown below must be entered at the Tera Term command prompt for the
EPL-1000.

1) 3721/>pers [Enter]
2) 3721/pers/>show [Enter]

This will result in information about the state of the personality flash being displayed. The
items near the end of the prints are the current Management Interface Settings. Typically
the factory settings are:

Management interface settings:
Physical interface: ethernet
Management VLAN: 4095
Transport protocol: udp
Local IP config: static
Host IP config: static
Host IP: 192.168.1.100
Mgmt IP: 192.168.1.101
Netmask: 255.255.255.0

The Mgmt IP address refers to the IP address of the OLT 10/100Mb MGMT Port. The Host
IP address refers to the IP address of the PC which is running the GUI Utility. The default
settings are for both of these IP addresses to be statically assigned. The netmask should
be set to suit the class of the IP addresses. In addition to the 10/100Mb MGMT Port,
management can also be performed in-band. In this case the MGMT Port is not connected.
Instead the OLT is programmed for in-band management and the user sets the VID of the
VLAN used for management. The Transport protocol should always be set to UDP.

The following sections outline how to change the settings for each of the management
options.

MGMT Port – Static IP Addresses
If you are controlling the EPON system from a local PC connected directly to the
management port, these settings should suffice. Additionally if you have the OLT connected
to your network and you are using local addressing in the 192.168.1.x subnet, they will also
