Interface Naming; Configuration Via The Device Manager; General Configuration - GE MDS Master Station Technical Manual

5.4 Interface Naming

Interface naming of physical devices on the MDS™ Master Station uses the following format:
<type>-<slot>/0/<port>
Where type is one of the following values:
Slot-0 is the slot identifier for the platform manager, while slots 1-3 map to the available inter-
face slots in the chassis.
Ports are zero-based and map to the port number of the given interface type in the specified slot.
Note that not all interface types have port values that are non-zero (e.g. An SD radio module on-
ly has one "port", so it will always be '0')
The center 0 value in the interface name is always 0, and is reserved for future use.
Examples of valid interface names are
eth-0/0/0 – The first Ethernet port on the platform manger card in slot-0
•
eth-0/0/1 – The second Ethernet port on the platform manager card in slot-0
•
sd-2/0/0 – The SD Radio module in slot-2.
•
Logical (non-physical) interfaces such as bridges and VLANs use free-form names and can be
renamed by the user.

5.5 Configuration via the Device Manager

The Device Manager is a built-in software tool that works with your PC's browser to provide an
intuitive, web-style presentation of all unit information, settings, and diagnostics. Device man-
ager is accessible through ETH1 or ETH2 using a web browser.
Minimum browser requirements: IE10 or later, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
For security, web access can be enabled/disabled via the CLI using the command
services web http(s) enabled true/false

General Configuration

For initial configuration of the Master Station, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the unit to a PC via an Ethernet connection.
2. Configure your PC network settings to an IP address on the same subnet as the unit. The
default subnet mask is
34
