File Management

In order to manage and update the Blackrock's operating software it will be necessary to have access to a computer with
an Ethernet connection. The computer selected can be an existing machine within the facility connected remotely via an
Ethernet switch; it would be an advantage if the computer used was in the same room as the Blackrock processor.
Alternatively a computer may be connected via a direct Ethernet link; note that the cable used for this arrangement will
need to be of a 'crossover' variety. Connection should be made to the TCP/IP port.
IP Address
To initially determine the IP address of the Blackrock motherboard's TCP port it will be convenient to have access to a
VGA monitor and USB keyboard; these should be connected to the Blackrock motherboard's VGA and USB ports. Once
booted, the motherboard will be running a Linux graphical desktop. Present on the desktop will be an application called
'Terminal'. Run the application and type the command 'my_blackrock' followed by the Return key. The application
will respond with the IP addresses of both the internal SSL console network and the internet TCP IP addresses.
Remote Diagnostics
The external access to the Blackrock processor via an IP network allows access to remote diagnostics using SNMP. Many
of the console's and Blackrock's operating parameters are available to allow monitoring and interrogation.
