Getting Started Getting Started Unpacking the NM31 After unpacking, check whether there are any transport or other damages on the system. If one of the following situations arises, have the equipment checked by service personnel: The power cable or plug is damaged. ...
Getting Started Mounting the NM31 Before installing the NM31, make sure that the installation site has been prepared and that the operating environment meets the equipment requirements. The NM31 network box has been designed to either sit on a flat surface or be securely mounted to a wall or similar surface.
Getting Started 2.3.1 Safety Instructions for Mounting Risk of Damages or Injuries Make sure that the cabinet or the wall where you want to install the system supports the weight of the system. Do not put the system on top of other equipment. When the system ...
Getting Started 2.3.2 Wall-Mounting the NM31 When mounting the NM31 to a wall, first ensure that the wall surface has been prepared and that the mounting screws have been installed as listed below: » Ensure that the mounting location provides at least 15 cm of space around the net- work box housing to ensure correct ventilation for cooling.
Getting Started 2.3.3 Horizontal Mounting When mounting the NM31 overhead or onto a table, first ensure that the surface has been prepared and that the mounting screws have been installed as listed below: » Ensure that the mounting location provides at least 15 cm of space around the net- work box housing to ensure correct ventilation for cooling.
Getting Started 2.3.4 Connecting and Starting 2.3.5 Safety Instructions for Connection » Read all labels and warnings on the equipment carefully; especially the power con- figuration and coding label affixed to the system chassis. » Adhere to the following safety instructions before you connect the NM31: Works on the computer system may only be carried out by personnel ...
Getting Started 2.3.6 Connecting an Earthing Cable The NM31 features an earthing connection. Connect the earthing cable before making any other connections! A protective earth connection is essential for the system to meet its EMC specifications. When disassembling the system, always detach the earthing cable last. ...
Getting Started 2.3.7 Starting Up the System The switch is delivered with installed firmware and is a standalone, smart managed Ethernet switch that does not require any external software. It features a HTTP Web interface for configuring the firmware. Chapter 2.4 Accessing the Ethernet Switch on page 26 for more information on accessing the switch.
Getting Started Accessing the Ethernet Switch Once the system has powered up, you can access the switch using its base address with telnet, ssh, http, https or the service console interface. 2.4.1 Web Interface The web interface provides an online help option for all configuration sheets which can be accessed by clicking on the question mark in the top right corner of the screen: Figure 8.
Getting Started Figure 9. Command line interface Chapter 1.4 Technical Data on page 12 for more information on the switch matrix and included protocols. 20NM31-01 E2 2017-01-11 Page 27 ...
Getting Started Starting Up the Switch This chapter is intended to get the user through the initial start-up of the switch firmware and includes: Login and resetting the configuration to factory default Setting a device hostname and admin user password ...
Getting Started » Type configure terminal then press <Enter> » Type hostname my-device and press <Enter> (replace my-device with a suitable name) » Finally type exit and press <Enter> configure terminal (config)# hostname my-device my-device(config)# exit my-device# The commands are executed immediately, so hostname changes the device hostname right away as is reflected in the prompt.
Getting Started The prompt will change as the interface vlan 1 command enters a configuration sub- mode that allows, among other things, the configuration of the IP address. Also note that IP addresses can only be assigned to VLAN interfaces. After configuration is complete, the resulting IP address can be inspected.
