Getting Started 39
Setting Up the Network
5.
Type the following command:
save
6.
If you are going to use another configuration method, such as WebManager or DeviceManager,
the Terminal Server will need to be re-booted first. On a desktop unit, change the DIP switch to
the OFF (Serial) position before re-booting the Terminal Server. Plug the Terminal Server back
in, automatically rebooting the Terminal Server in the process.
7.
If you want to complete the configuration using a direct connection, see
Command Line
Interface
on page 30
and/or
Menu
on page 32
. After you complete configuring the Terminal
Server, it will need to be re-booted for the configuration to take effect. On a desktop unit, change
the DIP switch to the OFF (Serial) position before re-booting the Terminal Server. Plug the
Terminal Server back in, automatically rebooting the Terminal Server in the process.
Using a Direct Serial Connection to Enable BOOTP/DHCP
If you are using BOOTP, you need to add an entry in the BOOTP server for the Terminal Server that
associates the MAC address (found on the back of the Terminal Server) and the IP address that you
want to assign to the Terminal Server. After you have made the MAC address/IP address association
for BOOTP, use the following directions for BOOTP or DHCP.
You can connect to the Terminal Server using a PC with a terminal emulation package, such as
HyperTerminal or a dumb terminal.
1.
Connect the Terminal Server to your PC or dumb terminal. Make sure the DIP switch is in
Console mode (desktop models, this sets the Terminal Server serial port to EIA-232). When
connecting a terminal or PC directly (without modems), the EIA-232 signals need to be crossed
over (‘null modem’ cable). For RJ45 models, the RJ45 to DB9F adaptor shipped with the unit
will provide this crossover.
2.
Using a PC emulation application, such as HyperTerminal, or from a dumb terminal, set the Port
settings to 9600 Baud, 8 Data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bits, and No Hardware Flow control to
connect to the Terminal Server.
3.
When prompted, type
admin
for the User and
superuser
for the Password. You should now
see the a prompt that displays the model type and port number; for example,
Terminal Server
1 port#
.
4.
You are now logged into the Terminal Server and can set the IP address by typing from the
command line using the Command Line Interface (CLI). Type the following command:
set server internet dhcp/bootp on
5.
Type the following command:
save
6.
The the following command:
reboot
7.
When the Terminal Server reboots, it will automatically poll for an IP address from the
DHCP/BOOTP server. If you have a Terminal Server with dual Ethernet, each Ethernet
connection will automatically be assigned an IP address, you can access the Terminal Server
through either IP address.
8.
To view the DHCP/BOOTP assigned IP address, type the following command:
show interface ethernet
If for some reason it cannot obtain an IP address from your DHCP/BOOTP server, you will have to
either reconnect to the Terminal Server on the console port and reboot it or push the Reset to Factory
button to access the Terminal Server.
