  • Page 36: Retrieving The Default Ip Address

    3.4.5.2 Retrieving the Default IP Address If the IP address has been changed from the default or is otherwise unknown, it can be retrieved using the serial interface on the S320 OCS. The following procedure describes how to retrieve the current IP address: 1.

  • Page 37: Fiber Connections

    Once the IP address is known, the user must configure the client IP network interface to be on the same subnet as the S320 OCS. After this is done, the user can log in to the GUI or telnet to the TL1 agent using the switch’s management interface.

    3. Gently press the LC male connector into LC-UPC bulkhead female connector until it locks in place. As Figure 11 illustrates, because of the directionality of the S320 OCS monitoring taps, the switch operates with light transmitted from the input fiber terminations to the output fiber terminations.
