Remote Operation
The Manager can be used to remotely configure multiple sites from a central
location. This facility is a valuable engineering tool for off-site support and
maintenance, enabling the configuration to be received, edited and sent back.
The INDeX environment must also be configured. By default, the IPNC is
configured with a remote manager dial in facility. It is necessary to set up the off-
site Admin PC to gain access to the remote system.
The Remote System
The default settings are shown in the table below. If any of these have been
changed from the defaults, it is necessary to know the changes made and to
change the settings at the off-site Manager PC accordingly.
CAUTION: The customer’s password and default IP Address should always be
changed from the default value to prevent illegal access.

The Off-Site Manager
To gain access to your remote system it is necessary to have a method for
dialling into the system. Typically this will be a PC/IPNC system configured as
follows:
1. Create a Service on the local IPNC with the following values:
– Name - a suitable exclusive name for the customer
– Account Name – RemoteManager
– Password – thepword
– Telephone Number - the customer’s number
– Save configuration and upload to IPNC.
2. Use File | Preferences to enter the address of the remote system, i.e.
192.168.42.1
3. Proceed to configure the remote system as if locally connected.
Bootp
The first item in the Configuration tree is Bootp, which is normally only used to
recover faulty unit (see Boot Protocol (BOOTP) on page 127). The Manager
application acts as a Bootp server and is used to reload the operational software
to the IPNC's flash memory.
