Installing the SAN Switch 2/32

Setting Network Addresses via a Serial Connection

Use the following steps to verify or change the SAN Switch 2/32 IP address, subnet
mask, or gateway address.
IMPORTANT: During first time setup, you must replace the factory IP, Subnetmask and
Gateway addresses with addresses provided by your Network Administrator.
1. Remove the shipping plug from the SAN Switch 2/32 Serial port.
2. Connect the Serial cable to the SAN Switch 2/32 Serial port, see Figure 2–11.

3. Connect the other end of the Serial cable to an RS-232 Serial port on the
workstation. If no RS-232 Serial port is available on the workstation, the adapter
on the end of the Serial cable can be removed to use the RJ-45 connector to create
a Serial connection.
4. Verify that the switch power is on and POST is completed. See the "Power-on Self
Test" section, earlier in this chapter.
5. Power on the workstation and establish a connection to the switch using a terminal
emulator application (such as Hyperterminal).
NOTE: These steps show instructions specific to Hyperterminal. If using a different application,
consult the specific application's documentation.
