4: Quick Setup This chapter helps get the IP network port up and running quickly, so you can administer the SLC console manager using your network. It contains the following sections:  Recommendations  IP Address  Next Step Recommendations To set up the network connections quickly, we suggest you do one of the following:  Use the front panel LCD display and pushbuttons.  Complete the Quick Setup web page 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 SLC console manager, 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 Detector tool available for download at http://www.lantronix.com/support/downloads/. If Eth1 cannot acquire an IP address, you cannot use Telnet, SSH, or the web interface to run Quick Setup. IP Address Your SLC console manager 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. Table 4-1 lists the options for assigning an IP address to your unit. Table 4-1 Methods of Assigning an IP Address Method DHCP BOOTP Description A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings. The SLC console manager is DHCP-enabled by default. With the Eth1 network port connected to the network, and the SLC device powered up, Eth1 acquires an IP address, viewable on the LCD. At this point, you can Telnet into the SLC console manager, or use the web interface. Similar to DHCP but for smaller networks. SLC™ Console Manager User Guide 30
