HSS001 Quick Start Guide

We recommend that you keep the keyboard and monitor attached to the HSM
until you verify that you can communicate with the HSM from a Windows
workstation.
Note:
NIMs and FIMs are designed to reset themselves and obtain an IP
address after detecting that network communications have been lost and then
restored. If you change the HSM's IP address and want to speed up this
process, you can manually cycle power to all of the telemetry system's NIMs
and FIMs (for example, those in the system's Network RTUs and Tunnel
CTUs).
Configure Hosts file on Windows Workstation
The hosts file allows you to associate a name with an IP address. After the
hosts file has been configured, you can launch Internet Explorer and simply
type
