3. System Configuration
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for the initial configuration of your console server and how to connect it to the
Management or Operational LAN.
Notes:
• System configuration must be done by a person with Administrator access.
• For guidance on configuring large numbers of Tripp Lite console servers and/or automating provisioning, sections
15.15 Bulk
Provisioning
and
15.16 Zero Touch Provisioning
.
3.1 Management Console Connection
Your console server ships configured with a default IP Address 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Directly connect a computer to the console server.
Note:
For initial configuration, it is recommended that the console server be directly connected to a single computer. However, if you choose
to connect your LAN before completing the initial setup steps, it is important that you ensure there are no other devices on the LAN with an
address of 192.168.0.1, and
the console server and the computer are on the same LAN segment, with no interposed router devices.
3.1.1 Connected Computer Setup
To configure the console server with a browser, the connected PC/workstation should have an IP address in the same range as
the console server (for example, 192.168.0.100):
• To configure the IP Address of your Linux or UNIX computer, run
ifconfig
.
• For Windows PCs:
 Click
Start
-> (
Settings
->)
Control Panel
and double-click
Network Connections
(for 95/98/Me, double-click
Network
).
 Right click on
Local Area Connection
and select
Properties
.
 Select
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
and click
Properties
.
 Select
Use the following IP address
and enter the following details:
IP address:
192.168.0.100
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
 If you want to retain your existing IP settings for this network connection, click
Advanced
and
Add
the above as a secondary
IP connection.
• If it is not convenient to change your computer network address, you can use the ARP-Ping command to reset the console
server IP address. To do this from a Windows PC:
 Click
Start
->
Run
(or select
All Programs
->
Accessories
->
Run
).
 Type
cmd
and click
OK
to bring up the command line.
 Type
arp –d
to flush the ARP cache.
 Type
arp –a
to view the current ARP cache (this should be empty).
