Changing OAMP Address for MC

The following procedure describes how to initially access an "MC" Media Component's Web interface and change its OAMP address.

➢

To initially configure the MC's OAMP address:

1.

Connect the Media Component's Ethernet port GE 1 or GE 2, located on the front panel (top-left ports), directly to your computer's network interface port, using a straight-through Ethernet cable:

2.

Change the IP address and subnet mask of your computer to correspond with the Media Component's default OAMP IP address and subnet mask.

3.

Access the Web interface using the default IP address and then login using the default username ("Admin") and password ("Admin").

4.

Configure the Ethernet ports that you want to use for the OAMP interface:

a.

In the Physical Ports table, configure the port speed and duplex mode (see Configuring Physical Ethernet Ports), as shown in the example below:

b.

In the Ethernet Groups table, assign up two Ethernet ports to an Ethernet Group (see Configuring Ethernet Port Groups), as shown in the example below:

c.

In the Ethernet Devices table, configure an Ethernet Device by assigning it the Ethernet Group and configuring a VLAN ID (see Configuring Underlying Ethernet Devices), as shown in the example below:

d.

Open the IP Interfaces table (see Configuring IP Network Interfaces), and then modify the OAMP interface address ("O+M+C") to suit your networking environment:

5.

Click Apply, and then restart the device with a save-to-flash for your settings to take effect.

6.

Disconnect the cable between the Media Component and your computer, and then cable the Media Component to your network using the Ethernet port configured for OAMP.

7.

Reconnect to the Media Component's Web interface using the new OAMP interface address.
