Overview

Certain parameters must be configured before the MSS can function on the network.
Although many users will prefer to use the EZWebCon graphical user interface, this
chapter explains how to configure the MSS via the command line interface.

Note:

Instructions for using EZWebCon are included on the distribution CD-ROM.

EZWebCon also has online help to assist you with configuration.

The command line interface allows users to enter commands at the Local> prompt to
configure, monitor, and use the MSS. This chapter covers the more important MSS
commands, such as:

‹

Rebooting the MSS

‹

Protocol Configuration

‹

SNMP

‹

IPX (NetWare) Configuration

‹

LAT Configuration

‹

‹

‹

RS-485 Configuration

Rebooting the MSS

There are two types of reboots for the MSS. A normal reboot restarts the MSS. A factory
reboot restores default configurations for the MSS, removing any custom settings.

Normal Reboot

You should use a normal reboot if you have configured custom settings that will not take
effect until after the MSS has rebooted. Reboot the MSS-VIA if you add or swap PC
cards, as PC cards are only scanned at boot time.

To reboot the MSS, perform one of the following:

‹

At the Local> prompt, enter the Initialize Delay 0 command.

‹

At the Boot> prompt, enter the Initialize 451 command. See

Entering

Commands at the Boot Prompt

on page 6-18 for more details.

‹

Remove the power cord from the MSS, then plug it back in.
