Configuring LAN Interfaces of the AMS200 Subsystem

The negotiation mode (10M/100M/half-duplex/full-duplex) of LAN port for user management
(used for Hi-Command, Storage Navigator Modular, etc.)and for maintenance of the control
Unit supports auto negotiation mode only. Therefore, connect the control Unit to the
network device which supports auto negotiation mode and set the auto negotiation mode for
the network card and the network switch connected to the control Unit.
Note: If the fixed transfer rate is set for the destination device of the control Unit, the
throughput or response performance of network communication may decrease and the
control Unit may not communicate the destination device across a network.
The communication mode of the control Unit becomes half-duplex under the Ethernet
standard, if the destination device of the control Unit is set to fixed transfer rate. If the
communication mode of the destination device of the control Unit is set to a fixed transfer
rate, the communication mode does not match between the control Unit and its destination
device; the network communication becomes unstable.
Each controller is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.0.16 (Controller 0) and
192.168.0.17(Controller1), and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. The IP address can be set using
the Storage Navigator-Modular program.
If the Storage Navigator-Modular program is used to configure the IP addresses, also refer to
the procedure in section 7.10.
If you wish to use Storage Navigator Modular to configure the IP addresses, please refer to
the Acer | HDS Adaptable Modular Storage and Workgroup Modular Storage Storage
Navigator Modular Graphical User Interface (GUI) User's Guide to use a GUI interface. See
the Acer | HDS Adaptable Modular Storage and Workgroup Modular Storage Storage
Navigator Modular Command Line Interface (CLI) to use the CLI version.
