Connecting To The Ism Web Interface Using The Wifi Access Point; Connecting To The Ism Web Interface Using Ethernet - HPE Edgeline EL300 Setup And Configuration Manual

configuration, Edgeline systems with iSM can be connected to a management network using Ethernet or a wireless Wi-Fi, 3G,
4G, or LTE connection. iSM offers a Web-based console (iSM GUI), a command line interface (iSM CLI), and is accessible using
the REST API.
Once the system is unboxed, connected to your management network, and powered up, there are a few options for accessing
iSM the first time. You can initially configure iSM by:
• Connecting to the iSM web interface using the WiFI access point (WiFi AP).
• Connecting to the iSM web interface through the management network.
• Connecting to the iSM CLI using a DB9 null modem serial cable and retrieving the DHCP assigned IP address.

Connecting to the iSM web interface using the WiFi Access Point

HPE recommends this method for initial configuration.
Prerequisites
• System hardware unboxed and powered up, and WiFi antenna connected
• Username and password noted from the chassis tag
• WiFi-enabled laptop or mobile device
Procedure
1. Search for available WiFi connections on your device.
The WiFi SSID starts with iSM, following by a dash, and up to 12 letters and numbers. For example, iSM-813d2g5144fd.
2. Select the WiFi connection and then enter the password.
3. Open a browser window to 192.168.0.1.
The login page for iSM is displayed. Log in with the credentials printed on the chassis tag.

Connecting to the iSM web interface using Ethernet

When your setup devices are not WiFi-enabled, acquire the IP address through your management network.
Prerequisites
• System hardware unboxed and powered up
• Username and password noted from the chassis tag
• Ethernet cable
• DHCP enabled management network
Procedure
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the MGMT port on the system chassis and your management network.
2. Wait for the hostname of your new system to propagate onto your network through DDNS and have an IP address
assigned through DHCP.
Once propagated, acquire the IP address of the new system using standard network administrator tools such as ICMP ping.
