Determining the IP Address of the Appliance from the CLI
If the IP address cannot be determined from other means, do the following to get the DHCP
address that was assigned to the Appliance during the boot process:
•
Access the Command Line Interface (CLI) for Appliance (requires a monitor and
keyboard)
Accessing the Appliance from the CLI
Connect a monitor and keyboard to the appliance.
To discover the IP address after booting:
•
At the command prompt login as “root”, type the password “Galaxy”
Type the “ifconfig” command; this command displays all the configured IP addresses for the
DICOM Appliance
•
Example:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:48:82:ba:f6
inet addr:192.168.1.207 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::230:48ff:fe82:baf6/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:402873 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6992 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:29985005 (29.9 MB) TX bytes:4553027 (4.5 MB)
Now that the DHCP address is known it can be used to open the web management
interface. Open a browser on another machine and type
https://ip-address
Note: https must be used to access the web interface.
Configuring the Network with a Static IP
The system will normally be configured for DHCP support. To change this to use a static IP,
edit the file /etc/network/interfaces.
To edit the /etc/network/interfaces file use an editor such as VI. Below is an example of a
static configuration:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.205
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
The web management interface can also be used to configure the network connections. Open a
browser on another machine and type
https://ip-address
