The interface and options are the same with Local Console and Telnet Management. The difference is the type of connection and the port that is used to manage the DES-5016. D-View is a proprietary SNMP management program. D-View is provided with the DES- 5016.
DES-5016 cannot be reached by any other means. Use Local Console Management to log into the DES-5016 for the first time. You do not need to know the IP address to log into the DES-5016 using Local Console Management.
You can manage the DES-5016 via Telnet session. However, first you must assign a unique IP address to the DES-5016. Use Local Console Management to log into the DES- 5016 for the first time so that you can assign an IP address. Once you have assigned an IP address to the DES-5016, you can use the management method of your choice.
The Log In panel, displayed in Figure 18, is the first panel you see when connecting to the DES-5016. All management methods require you to log into the DES-5016 with your user name and password before beginning a management session. For security, you should change the default User Name and Password.

Through. Figure 26: System Rate Control The DES-5016 can be set for Store and Forward or Cut-Through. This is a global setting that affects all the ports except the RS-232 port. Store and Forward means that when the DES-5016 receives an incoming packet it “stores”...
Page 55
1500 byte packets are delayed by 1200 microseconds in a Store and Forward device versus 60 microseconds in a Cut-Through device. Store and Forward requires more memory because the DES-5016 must store the packet before sending it out. Advantages of Cut-Through Cut-Through is faster because the packet is sent as soon as the first 128 bytes are received.
1. Load the new software to the hard drive of the PC you will be downloading from. Never attempt to load software from the floppy drive. 2. Connect the DES-5016 and the PC with the software on it with the RS-232 cable provided. Use the settings given at the beginning of this chapter. Never attempt to load firmware through Telnet.
