Task 5: Configure product network information (optional)
The product is delivered with default network addresses as follows:
•
MAC address - The media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into FLASH memory on the control processor (CTP)
card at manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each
product, and should not be changed.
•
IP address - The default IP address is 10.1.1.10. If multiple
products are installed on the same LAN, each product (and the
management server) must have a unique IP address.
NOTE: If multiple products and the management server are delivered in
an equipment cabinet, all devices are configured with unique IP
addresses that do not require change. The addresses require change only
if multiple cabinets are LAN-connected.
•
Subnet mask - The default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the product
is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers,
the address may require change.
•
Gateway address - The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the
product is installed on a public LAN, the gateway address must
be changed to the address of the corporate intranet's local router.
Verify the LAN installation with the customer. If one product is
installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require
change. Go to
Task 6: Configure server password and network
If multiple products are installed or a public LAN segment is used,
network addresses must be changed to conform to the customer's
LAN addressing scheme. Perform the following steps to change a
product IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address. An
asynchronous RS-232 modem cable and maintenance terminal
(desktop or notebook PC) with a Windows-based operating system
and RS-232 serial communication software (such as ProComm Plus or
HyperTerminal) are required.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the protective cap from the
9-pin maintenance port at the rear of the chassis. Connect one end
of the RS-232 modem cable to the port.
