4: Quick Setup This chapter helps get the IP network port up and running quickly, so you can administer the SLB using your network. Recommendations To set up the network connections quickly, we suggest you do one of the following: Use the front panel LCD display and keypads. Complete the Quick Setup on the web interface. SSH to the command line interface and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface. Connect to the console port and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface. Note: The first time you power up the SLB, Eth1 tries to obtain its IP address via DHCP. If you have connected Eth1 to the network, and Eth1 is able to acquire an IP address, you can view this IP address on the LCD or by running the DeviceInstaller. If Eth1 cannot acquire an IP address, you cannot use Telnet, SSH, or the web interface to run Quick Setup. IP Address Your SLB must have a unique IP address on your network. The system administrator generally provides the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC. The following table lists the options for assigning an IP address to your SLB. Table 4-1 Methods of Assigning an IP Address Method Description DHCP A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings. The SLB is DHCP-enabled by default. With the Eth1 network port connected to the network, and the SLB powered up, Eth1 acquires an IP address, viewable on the LCD. At this point, you can use SSH or Telnet to connect to the SLB, or use the web interface. BOOTP Similar to DHCP but for smaller networks. DeviceInstaller™ The Lantronix DeviceInstaller is a Windows-based GUI application that provides an easy way to install and configure specific Lantronix device server products. You may utilize DeviceInstaller to assign an IP and other network specific addresses. Front panel LCD display You manually assign the IP address and other basic network, console, and and keypads date/time settings. If desired, you can restore the factory defaults.
