Establishing Communication with the Array
The Array can be configured through the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the
graphical Web Management Interface (WMI). You can use the CLI via the serial
management port, the Fast Ethernet port, or either of the Gigabit Ethernet ports.
You can use the WMI via any of the Array’s Ethernet ports.

Using the Serial Port
If using the serial port to make your connection, use serial settings of 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) and a speed setting of 115200 baud. Use the
communication package of your choice.
Using the Ethernet Ports
If the Array is booted and does not receive DHCP addresses on either the Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Fast Ethernet port will default to an IP
address of 10.0.0.1 and both Gigabit Ethernet ports will default to 10.0.1.1 and
10.0.2.1 respectively. If the Array is connected to a network that provides DHCP
addresses, the IP address can be determined by the following two methods:
1.
Examine the DHCP tables on the server and find the addresses assigned
to the Array (Xirrus MAC addresses begin with 000F7D).
2.
Query the Array using the CLI via the serial port. Use the
show ethernet
command to view the IP addresses assigned to each port.
Logging In
When logging in to the Array, use the default user name and password—the
default user name is
admin
, and the default password is
admin
.
