Using The Serial Port; Using The Ethernet Ports - Xirrus XR Series User Manual

Using the Serial Port

If using the serial port to make your connection, use serial settings of 8 bits, no
parity, no flow control, 1 stop bit (8N1) and a speed setting of 115200 baud. Use
the communication package of your choice. You may use the serial port to change
settings on the Array, even if the Array's gigabit interfaces are in XMS managed
mode (i.e., read-only mode, see
Management" on page

Using the Ethernet Ports

By default, the Array's Ethernet interfaces use DHCP to obtain an IP address. If
the Array is booted and does not receive DHCP addresses on Gigabit Ethernet
ports, then both Gigabit1 and its bonded pair port (if any) will default to 10.0.2.1
with a mask of 255.255.255.0.
If the Array is connected to a network that provides DHCP addresses, the IP
address can be determined by the following three methods:
1. The simplest way to address the Array is using its default hostname
which is the Array's serial number (for example, XR40123091CACD). If
your network provides DHCP and DNS, then you can use this hostname.
2. Otherwise, examine the DHCP tables on the server and find the addresses
assigned to the Array (Xirrus MAC addresses begin with 000F7D).
Alternatively, you may query the Array using the CLI via the console port
3.
(on all models except the XR-500, XR-1000, and some XR-2000 models).
Log in using the default user name admin and password admin. Use the
show ethernet command to view the IP addresses assigned to each port.
4. If the Array cannot obtain an IP address via DHCP, the factory default
uses a static IP address of 10.0.2.1 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 on its
Gigabit POE port.
#
Take care to ensure that your network is not using the 10.0.2.1 IP address
prior to connecting the Array to the network.
To connect to the Array, you must set your laptop to be in the same
subnet as the Array: set your laptop's IP address to be in the 10.0.2.xx
