4: Quick Setup

SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide

Quick Setup

This chapter helps get the IP network port up and running quickly, so you can administer the SLC

advanced console manager using your network. The setup procedures assume you are starting

with a factory default SLC unit.

Recommendations

To set up the network connections quickly, we suggest you do one of the following:



Use the front panel LCD display and keypad buttons to configure the IP address, subnet

mask, gateway address and DNS address(es), if applicable.



Complete the quick setup (see

Figure 4-6)

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 unit, 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 Lantronix Provisioning

Manager application. If Eth1 cannot acquire an IP address, you cannot use Telnet, SSH,

or the web interface to run Quick Setup.IP Address

Your SLC 8000 advanced 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 and unique to your network. If a valid

gateway address has not been assigned the IP address must be on the same subnet as

workstations connecting to the SLC 8000 over the network.

The following table lists the options for assigning an IP address to your SLC unit.

Table 4-1

Methods of Assigning an IP Address

Method

Description

DHCP

A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings.

The SLC 8000 advanced console manager is DHCP-enabled by default.

With the Eth1 network port connected to the network, and the SLC unit

powered up, Eth1 acquires an IP address, viewable on the LCD.

At this point, you can use SSH to connect to the SLC console manager or use

the web interface.

BOOTP

Non-dynamic predecessor to DHCP.

Front panel LCD display

and keypads

You manually assign the IP address and other basic network, console, and

date/time settings. If desired, you can restore the factory defaults.

Serial port login to

command line interface

You assign an IP address and configure the SLC unit using a terminal or a PC

running a terminal emulation program to the SLC serial console port

connection.
