Configuring the LX-4000 Unit for the First Time

You can choose from five options to configure the unit for the first time:

•First Time Configuration Utility - The first time an LX-4000 unit boots up at default parameters, you are presented with the option to run the Initial Connectivity setup. Enter y and press <Enter>. Refer to “First Time Quick Configuration” for further details.

•Assign the IP Address via the Network - Refer to “Assigning an IP Address via the Network” for further details. Use this option if your network is using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.

•Setting the IP Address Manually - Refer to “Manually Setting the IP Address Via the CLI”.

•Creating and Loading a Default Configuration File - Refer to “Applying Default Configurations to Other Units” in the LX-Series Configuration Guide.

•Configuring the LX-4000 Manually via the CLI - Refer to “Upgrading Software with the ppciboot Main Menu” in the LX-Series Configuration Guide.

First Time Quick Configuration

NOTE: The first time quick configuration runs only on the DIAG port (port 0) on all models when booting from default parameters. The DIAG port (port 0) of the LX-4008, LX-4016, and LX- 4032 is on the rear of the unit. The LX-4048 DIAG port (port 0) is on the front of the unit.

NOTE: Display problems may occur during bootup when you attach a terminal to the DIAG port (port 0) and the display setup is configured to Smooth-2 Scroll. To avoid this, change the scroll setting to Jump Scroll.

Use the following procedure to configure your LX-4000 unit for the first time.

1.Plug in the terminal at the DIAG port (port 0 - port values are 9600 bps, eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity, and Xon/Xoff flow control). The Main Menu appears.
