Physical Installation of Dominion SX for Initial Configuration:
1. Obtain a computer with a network card and crossover network cable. This computer will be referred to as the
‘installation computer.’
2. A unique MAC address for each unit is shown on a sticker on the chassis. Make a note of this address prior to
physical installation.
3. Physically mount the unit in an ergonomically sound manner. The unit is designed to be easily rack-mounted,
and rack mounting is recommended.
4. Connect the crossover network LAN cable to the primary LAN connection on the back of the chassis. Connect
the other end to the network card in the installation computer.
5. Connect the female end of the external power cord to the back of the chassis.
6. Connect the male end of the external power cord to the power supply outlet. Power ON the Dominion SX unit.
Note : The unit will perform a hardware and firmware self-test, indicated by the green light on the
back of the chassis, and then start the software boot sequence. The boot sequence takes
approximately 30-60 seconds, and is complete when the green light goes on and remains on.
7. Each unit comes with a certain set of configuration defaults henceforth referred to as Factory Reset Mode. The
default network settings for this mode are:
Internet Address (IP) 192.0.0.192
Gateway Address 192.0.0.192
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Port Address 23

8. Ensure that your installation computer can communicate with IP address 192.0.0.192. First, verify that the
installation computer has the route for 192.0.0.192:
a. On the command line interface of the installation computer, enter the command
route print .
b. If 192.0.0.192 is on the gateway list, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, add 192.0.0.192 to the gateway
list: type the following commands into either a DOS or UNIX command line interface on the installation
computer where your browser is running:
i. On a Windows NT/95/98/2000 system:
route add 192.0.0.192 <client_host IP address>
Example:
route add 192.0.0.192 15.128.122.12
ii. On a UNIX (incl. Sun Solaris) system: route add 192.0.0.192 <client_host IP address> -interface
Example:
route add 192.0.0.192 15.128.122.12 -interface
9. On the command line interface, type: ping 192.0.0.192.
a. If this command successfully produces a reply from the Dominion SX unit, please proceed to step 10.
b. If this does not produce a reply, verify that the default IP address is entered correctly and there is a route to
that IP address.
10. Use the installation computer to connect to the unit, typing the factory default IP address 192.0.0.192 in the
installation computer Web browser’s address line. Once you have reached the unit’s initial configuration screen,
