CXTool User Guide - Comtech EF Data

CXTool User Interface
CXTool will also detect the hardware present within the CX. The default community
string (“public”) is put in the AdminCommunity field automatically: if the
community string in the device was changed, you will need to enter the new
value in this field.
When learning hardware is performed (Serial or IP), CXTool can also learn the CXTool
configuration from the CX device itself, if the option “Learn Configuration” is selected.
Once the learning process is done, the user can modify the CX configuration as if a local
CXTool configuration file was opened. The modified CX configuration can also be saved
in a local file. The learning process will be successful only if the CX device was
previously configured using CXTool and if the CXTool database was sent to the CX with
the configuration. See the “Download Configuration” on page 2-22 for more information.
Note that even if the database is sent to the CX device with the configuration, it is
recommended to always save the CX configuration in a local file and keep this file in a
safe place.
If a new configuration is selected in the Product Configuration panel, clicking Next will
bring you to the I/O panel for the selected (or learned) device type.
This panel is used to set the type of hardware present in the CX. Its appearance is slightly
different for each device type but the same fields are set in each of them. For a CX900s/
CX950e/CX960e, the I/O panel is like the next figure:
