Important:
The manager must be connected to the LAN (step 6) before the
sudo ifswitch-to-dhcp
command is issued or an IP address will not
be assigned to the manager by the DHCP server.
•
Static LAN IP address
—
To configure the manager to use a static LAN IP
address provided by your LAN administrator, enter:
sudo ifswitch-to-static
<New Static IP Address>
H

J
Disconnect the manager from your computer and from AC power. Then reconnect
the manager to AC power.
The new IP address takes effect when the manager powers on again.

Important:
If the manager is configured to use DHCP, it must always have an
Ethernet connection to the LAN when it is powered on or reset or it will not receive a
LAN IP address from the DHCP server. If you power on or reset the manager before
connecting it to the LAN, you will need to establish a HyperTerminal connection to the
manager and issue the
sudo ifswitch-to-dhcp
command to prompt the
DHCP server to assign the manager a LAN IP address.
