3. System Configuration Now add a static entry to the ARP table and ping the console server to assign the IP address to the console server. In the example below, a console server has a MAC Address 00:06:67:12:DA:F1 (designated on the label on the bottom of the unit) and we are setting its IP address to 192.168.100.23. Also the computer issuing the arp command must be on the same network segment as the console server (that is, have an IP address of 192.168.100.xxx). • Type arp -s 192.168.100.23 00-06-67-12-DA-F1 (for UNIX, the syntax is: arp -s 192.168.100.23 00:06:12:DA:F1). • Type ping -t 192.18.100.23 to start a continuous ping to the new IP Address. • Turn on the console server and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP address. It will start replying to the ping at this point. • Type arp -d to flush the ARP cache again. 3.1.2 Browser Connection Open a web browser on the connected PC / workstation and enter https://192.168.0.1 . The management console supports all current versions of popular browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and more). Note: Console servers are factory configured with HTTPS access enabled and HTTP access disabled. A login screen appears. Enter the default administration username root and administration password default. Note: If you unable to connect to the management console at 192.168.0.1 or if the default Username / Password were not accepted, reset your console server (refer to 10. Nagios Integration). Click Submit. The Welcome screen listing the initial installation configuration steps will display. These steps are: • Change default administration password (see 3.2 Administrator Setup).  Configure the local network settings (see 3.3 Network Configuration). • To configure console server features:  Configure serial ports settings (see 4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration).  Configure user port access (see 4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration). • If your system has a cellular modem, you will also be provided steps to configure the cellular router features:  Configure the cellular modem connection (see 5. Firewall, Failover & OOB Access).  Allow forwarding to the cellular destination network (see 5. Firewall, Failover & OOB Access).  Enable IP masquerading for cellular connection (see 5. Firewall, Failover & OOB Access). You can return to the configuration list at any time by clicking the logo in the top left corner of the screen. 13

3. System Configuration
Now add a static entry to the ARP table and ping the console server to assign the IP address to the console server. In the
example below, a console server has a MAC Address 00:06:67:12:DA:F1 (designated on the label on the bottom of the unit)
and we are setting its IP address to 192.168.100.23. Also the computer issuing the arp command must be on the same
network segment as the console server (that is, have an IP address of 192.168.100.xxx).
• Type
arp -s 192.168.100.23 00-06-67-12-DA-F1
(for UNIX, the syntax is:
arp -s 192.168.100.23 00:06:12:DA:F1
).
• Type
ping -t 192.18.100.23
to start a continuous ping to the new IP Address.
• Turn on the console server and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP address. It will start replying to the ping at this
point.
• Type
arp –d
to flush the ARP cache again.
