Both of the SLC 8000 network ports (Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2) default to 
DHCP– assigned IP addresses. If you want to assign a different IP address, it 
must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and with the same subnet 
mask as your workstation.

To configure the SLC 8000, you need the following information:
IP address (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Subnet mask (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Gateway: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
DNS: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______

The fastest way to set basic network parameters is by using the front panel 
keypad and display.

Note:

 If you prefer, you can get started by following a Quick Setup script on the 

command line interface using Telnet or SSH, or by connecting a terminal directly 
to the console (RS-232) port. The web page interface also provides a Quick Setup 
page. See 

Quick Setup

 in the User Guide.
