Configuring network settings

The chassis contains a Silcon management card that provides

the network interface. You must configure the network settings of this management card before it can function on a network.

The required settings are:

IP address of the Silcon management card

Subnet Mask

IP address of the default Gateway

Note: Before you begin configuring network settings, you will need the MAC address from the Quality Assurance Slip included with your chassis.

Management Card Wizard

Choose the configuration method that matches your environment:

If you are using Windows™ 95, 98, or NT, see “Management Card Wizard” on this page.

If you require direct serial configuration; or if you are a network administrator and have access to a computer

 

connected to the local subnet; or if you are using

 

 

 

BOOTP, see the

 

Web/SNMP Management Card

 

 

 

Installation and Quick Start Guide

 

included on the CD.

 

The Management Card Wizard provides a quick way to

 

 

configure all Silcon management card settings, including the

 

 

required network settings described previously. To access the

When the Wizard is first run, it will begin searching for management cards on the network that do not have valid network settings. If you have properly installed the management card on

the network, the Status LED is blinking red, and the workstation is on the same subnet as the management card, then the

management card will be detected in about one minute.
