Setting Up the Node

This section describes the Node setup process.

On NE information pane, you can access and modify basic configuration information of a node including node Name, Router ID, Ethernet IP, Contact, and Location fields.

Editing the fields on NE information pane is service non-disruptive. The software reboots without affecting the commissioned traffic (warm reset) when Router ID or Ethernet IP is changed. The node does not reboot for any changes made in name or location. Connectivity to the node software is lost while rebooting.

Perform the steps given below to set or edit the node information.

Log-in to the node. For more information, refer to "Logging In to the Application" procedure in the topic Logging In/Out of the Node Application. The NE information preview pane is displayed.
Enter the values for the desired editable parameters. For parameter description, the default and acceptable values supported, refer to the table Configurable Node parameters given below.
Click Submit. A confirmation message is displayed.
Click Accept Valid Modifications. A "Successfully Modified" message is displayed under the Warnings field.
A click on Back link will direct you to NE information preview pane.
