Using FDR

Assigning an IP Address from an FDR Server

In order to enter a role name into a device’s Web page, either allow the device to power up in its default IP or assign a temporary IP address using the out-of-the-box process. Connect to the device with a browser either using a personal computer (PC) on the same subnet or adding a route to the PC.

Do the following:

Step	Action
1	Browse to the FDR server’s configuration Web page (such as a Quantum NOE or Premium ETY).
2	Enter the role name and IP address in the FDR Server Table of the FDR server.
3	Browse to the Communication Adapter Parameters Web page. Give the Momentum 170ENT11001 the desired configuration (runtime) parameters and store them in Flash. Storing is executed by performing the save action. Before storing, enter the configuration password (httpcfguser).
4	Go to the IP Parameters Web page, and enter the role name into the adapter through the Web page and reboot. (The system automatically prompts you to reboot.) Before storing, enter the configuration password (httpcfguser).

NOTE: If the above sequence is not followed, the device will come up in safe I/O mode. For more information, refer to the LED status indicators.

NOTE: To participate in the benefits of FDR, a role name is required.

FDR in a Nutshell

The role name is stored in non volatile memory, Flash, and the configuration (runtime) parameters are stored on the FDR server. Therefore, after a power failure all configurations will be available. After that power failure, the Momentum 170ENT11001 will remember its role name (stored in Flash) and request its configuration (runtime) parameters from the FDR server.
