What are the browsers (and versions)
supported? Netscape 4.7 or greater (but not 6.0), or Internet Explorer 5.0 with Java
VM 5.0 or greater.
Is the status of the unit limited by the
status of the device or equipment to
which it is attached (i.e. Server, router,
firewall, load balancer, or other
network device)?
No, because the unit is a totally “out of band” solution that runs on its own
dedicated microprocessor. Even if the target devices to which the
Dominion SX is attached are turned off, you will still be able to access the
unit.
Can I reset the unit without losing my
settings?
There are two ways to perform a basic reset without losing your user-
defined settings: (1) Click on the [
Reset ] button in the left panel of the
Main Menu screen, or (2) Switch off power from the unit, and then switch
the power back on. Using either of these two methods, the previously
established IP address and all other user-defined settings will be preserved.
Important: Performing a “soft” reset as described above will log all users
off the unit. Users will be able to access the unit again once the unit’s boot
sequence is complete.
How do I reset the unit back to its
factory-default settings?
To perform a factory default reset, which will erase all custom settings and
re-establish the factory default settings, attach the “factory reset fixture” to
the unit’s 9-pin serial port (located on the back of the chassis), turn the
unit off, wait a few seconds, turn the unit back on, and allow the unit to
complete the factory default reset sequence. This will take about 60
seconds. The factory default reset sequence consists of the following: A
solid green light for about 5 seconds, then no light for about 15-20
seconds, then another solid green light for about 5 seconds and then 3
green flashes (about 1 second each). The total time for this sequence is
generally about 40 seconds. The IP address for the unit will be reset to
192.0.0.192 .
Important: Performing a “hard” reset as described above will log all users
off the unit. Users will not be able to access the unit again until the unit is
re-configured.
Does the unit need to be on the same
physical LAN as the client_host
during installation and setup?
Yes, the unit must be on the same physical LAN as the client_host during
installation and setup. There should be no intermediate IP routers between
the unit and the client_host during this stage.
Once the physical installation is
complete and my
ping query elicits a
response from the unit, how do I
initially access the unit and begin the
process to customize the unit?
Open a supported network-enabled web browser (Netscape or Internet
Explorer), type “
192.0.0.192 ” in the address line, and press the < Enter >
key. You will be presented with the start-up screen for the unit, and
prompted through the entire set-up process. Once setup is complete, you
will log off the console, and use the IP address you assigned during set-up
to re-access the unit.
Once I have assigned the unit a unique
IP address, how do I access the unit in
the future?
Open your supported Web browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer), enter
the IP address you have assigned to that unit into the Address field and
press the <
Enter > key. The login/password screen for the unit will appear.
