Setting An Ip Address - Symmetricom ATS-6511A User Manual

Note: Make sure the USB Console Cable (ATS 94000-115200) is installed in one of the two
USB ports when the system is powered on. If not, power the system down, plug the cable in and
re-apply power.
Caution: The system default settings allows the operator to set a default IP address by pressing
and holding the Display pushbutton on the front panel for ~10 seconds. This will set the IP
address to 192.168.0.1. The IP address will be displayed on the front panel after it is set. If the
button is held down too long and the IP Address is set to the default by mistake, you may be able
to clear this by pulling the LAN connection on the rear panel and plugging the connector back in.
If not, power-cycle the unit to restore the proper network settings. This front panel IP reset
feature can be disabled using the frontpanel_button command. Users are cautioned that this reset
feature is ON by default and must be turned off if this is not the desired behavior.
