Changing the IP of the STAR:
To change the STAR IP requires a telnet session. The following examples assume the
availability of a telnet Client, such as PuTTY (
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
).
The same PuTTY Client can be used to establish a Telnet connection. Likewise, a telnet session from the MCON
command prompt or a Windows XP command prompt may be used as well.
First establish a Telnet session with the STAR as follows.
$ telnet 169.254.1.2
Once connected, there will be no prompt presented and the characters will not be echoed either. To change the
network settings the user must be connected to the STAR from the same LAN segment and not over a WAN
connection. Enter the following commands in this order.
1. gateway <Gateway ip address (Ex. 192.168.1.1)>
2. netmask <Netmask (Ex. 255.255.255.0)>
3. ip <ip address (Ex. 192.168.1.2)>
All setting changes are immediate. Once the IP is changed, the user must re-establish a telnet session to the new
address. The last step in this process is to save the settings in flash memory. To do this, establish a new telnet session
with the STAR at its new address. Using the example IP from above of 192.168.1.2, enter the following commands.
$ telnet 192.168.1.2
sys commit
This will commit the new settings to flash memory, making the new network settings permanent. The system will
return a message indicating that the Kernel commit to flash has been verified, as indicated in the Figure that follows.
