The organization of this section reflects this process: • Requirements for local client devices • Default values for the Integrated Administrator • Determining the IP address using the local console Requirements for Local Client Devices You can access the Integrated Administrator locally using the serial connector on the rear panel of the enclosure using a local client device, such as a laptop computer.
