Configuring an MRV

The MRV provides IP (network) access to serial COM ports, such as PBX Core or MGC TTY's. In a PBX environment, the network side is generally connected to the ELAN data switch - however, before doing this, the MRV needs to be configured.

Username/password defaults:

The following username and passwords are the defaults:

The default login username is InReach (with a capital I and R).
The default login password is access.
To enter the "superuser" mode, type enable at the InReach> prompt.
The default superuser password is system.

If the superuser password is not known, the MRV will need to be reset to factory defaults (from the ppciboot Main menu).

MRV ports:

First-time configuration:

1. Connect a terminal to the DIAG Port (port 0) - 9600,8,N, Xon/Xoff (or NONE).

2. The "Main Menu" displays, and the unit starts loading after 8 seconds.

3. "... would you like to run Initial Connectivity Setup? y/n" displays. Press y (yes).

4. Enter the Superuser password: system. The "Quick Configuration" menu displays:

Quick Configuration menu

1 Unit IP address 
2 Subnet mask 
3 Default Gateway 
4 Domain Name Server 
5 Domain Name Suffix 
6 Cluster Secret
7 Superuser Password
8 Exit and Save 

Enter your choice:

5. Enter the appropriate values for IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway. Press 8 to Exit and Save.

CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

1 Unit IP address	10.10.10.17
2 Subnet mask 		255.255.255.0
3 Default Gateway 	10.10.10.254
4 Domain Name Server 
5 Domain Name Suffix 
6 Cluster Secret
7 Superuser Password	Not Changed
8 Exit and Save 

Is this information correct? (y/n): y

Note: Setting Unit, Subnet, and Gateway IP addresses to 0.0.0.0 (default) enables DHCP mode.

6. Press y, then Save the configuration to flash memory.

7. Press Enter several times to display the Login: prompt. The default login name is InReach, the default password is access

8. Enter the following commands at the InReach (password: system) command prompt:

InReach:0 >enable
Password: system
InReach:0 >>config port async 1-16 speed 9600
InReach:0 >>config port async 1-16 no autohangup
InReach:0 >>config port async 1-16 no authentication
InReach:0 >>config port async 1-16 no authentication outbound
InReach:0 >>save config flash
..........
InReach:0 >>

Note: At the InReach:0 >> (SU) prompt, type setup to re-run the setup utility, eg: to change IP addresses, at any time.

Accessing and Configuring the GUI:

To perform this procedure, you need a PC with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 or later installed. A suitable Java installer is on the supplied CD. You must also have correctly programmed the MRV with the correct IP adresses (as above) before hand.

In a browser window, type the IP address of your LX-4000T unit. The LX-Series Console Access page displays.
Click on the Launch Secure Console button.
If Java is correctly installed, a Security Warning window displays:
Accept the Security prompt. The Security Warning window closes.
Enter your Username and Password, and click Login.
The defaults are username: InReach and password: access.

Using Web Configure Mode:

If you log in as a "user", the following window displays:
To log in as a "superuser", click the Admin button on the toolbar and enter the default Superuser password: system.
You can now configure the unit via the GUI.
Click on the menu items on the left side of the window.
For example, selecting Ports: Async opens the Async ports window.
Configure the Async ports as required.
Connect the (PBX) TTY's with the special RJ-45 to DB-9 cables, and test.
The MRV is a DTE device, so some null modem adapters maybe required.

To connect to a serial port:

Serial Ports are assigned Telnet port numbers 2100-6800, and SSH port numbers 2122-6822, by default.

Port #:	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26	27	28	29	30	31	32	33	34	35	36	37	38	39	40	41	42	43	44	45	46	47	48
Telnet:	2100	2200	2300	2400	2500	2600	2700	2800	2900	3000	3100	3200	3300	3400	3500	3600	3700	3800	3900	4000	4100	4200	4300	4400	4500	4600	4700	4800	4900	5000	5100	5200	5300	5400	5500	5600	5700	5800	5900	6000	6100	6200	6300	6400	6500	6600	6700	6800
SSH:	2122	2222	2322	2422	2522	2622	2722	2822	2922	3022	3122	3222	3322	3422	3522	3622	3722	3822	3922	4022	4122	4222	4322	4422	4522	4622	4722	4822	4922	5022	5122	5222	5322	5422	5522	5622	5722	5822	5922	6022	6122	6222	6322	6422	6522	6622	6722	6822

Connect to a Serial Port device by using the MRV-IP address followed by a port number:

> telnet 10.10.10.17 2100      ← to connect to MRV serial port #1

To access the CLI port from a terminal attached to a serial port:

Press Return several times to autobaud (if autobaud is enabled) the port and get the Login: prompt.
Enter your login name (default: InReach).
Enter your password (default: access).
The Superuser password (default: system).

Configuration Backup:

You'll need a TFTP server, such as PumpKIN, running on your network.
Telnet into your MRV, login as a Superuser, and issue the following command:

> save configuration network <filename> <ip>

A backup file will be placed in the TFTP servers root directory.

The Modem Port:

The modem port allows dial-in access. If present (factory option), connect a phone line to the modem's RJ11 connector.
The Modem port number is as follows:

LX-4008M - port # 9
LX-4016M - port # 17
LX-4032M - port # 33
LX-4048M - port # 49

At the InReach:0>> prompt, enter show port async 33 modem to display the LX-4032M modem port fields.
