OS414 is a Linux based 20 port (4 1x4 duplex) optical switch used in patch panel
automation applications. It provides a serial (RS232) and an Ethernet (10/100)
port connectivity for management. Serial port is normally used in special situations
such as to debug network connectivity if OS414 is not reachable through Ethernet.
You might require a Laptop or a PC to configure OS414 with an IP address before
connecting to your network so that you would be able to access OS414 from
remote. You could either use Serial or Ethernet port to configure IP. If you use
serial port using supplied null modem cable then you would need to configure
serial for 38400 baud
38400 baud 38400 baud 38400 baud rate rate rate rate with with with with 8 8 8 8----N N N N----1 1 1 1 to access OS414. If you use Ethernet then you
would need to configure the PC or Laptop’s IP to match OS414’s default network.
The default network configuration is as follows
IP A IP A IP A IP Address: 10.1.1.100 ddress: 10.1.1.100 ddress: 10.1.1.100 ddress: 10.1.1.100
Mask: Mask: Mask: Mask: 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.1.1.1

Gateway: 10.1.1.1
DNS: 10.1.1.1
DNS: 10.1.1.1 DNS: 10.1.1.1 DNS: 10.1.1.1
If you have successfully configured Serial or Ethernet then you would see the
os414 login prompt; login as “root” to setup network.
root’s password:
osctl

There is one non-root default user available on OS414 which can be used once the
switch is setup (for doing switching of port).
username:
osctl

Configuring Static IP
Configuring Static IP Configuring Static IP Configuring Static IP
Use “osctl” command to configure a static IP address after login as “root” user.
“osctl -?” shows detailed osctl command options with examples.
# osctl osctl osctl osctl ----i i i i 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 ----m 255.255.255.0 m 255.255.255.0 m 255.255.255.0 m 255.255.255.0 ----g 192.168.1.1 g 192.168.1.1 g 192.168.1.1 g 192.168.1.1
The above command configures IP address of OS414 as 192.168.1.10 with mask
255.255.255.0 and gateway & DNS as 192.168.1. Once the IP is configured from a
PC or a Laptop using Ethernet or serial port, you can then connect OS414 to your
network and access it using “telnet” or “ssh”.
