Setting of the IP Address Using a Console
Before installation you need to find out the required network settings. These include the
IP Address
,
Netmask and Gateway Settings
used by the Arctic. The local network administrator can provide
them to you or you can ask for them from your Internet Service Provider.
1. Before beginning, turn off the power from all devices and check that the power switch of the
Arctic is in the “OFF” position.
2. Connect a serial cable to the console serial port (RS1) and an Ethernet cable to the RJ45
connector.
3. Switch the Arctic on by toggling the power switch to “ON” position.
4. After booting the Arctic, open a terminal connection to the Arctic using the following serial
communication settings: “19200-8-N-1” and “NO HW or SW handshaking”.
5. Enter login and password when Arctic prompts you for them. The default password is
empty
.
6. Wait for the Linux prompt and then enter the following command with
<ip_address>
replaced
with the IP address of your choice.
echo <ip_address> > /proc/config/ipaddr
7. You can check that the IP address was set up correctly by entering the following command in
the Linux prompt.
cat /proc/config/ipaddr
8. By repeating step 5 you can set other network settings by replacing the keyword
ipaddr
with
one of the following keywords
:
netmask, gatewayip
9. Reboot the Arctic for the settings to take effect.
