nIts IP address
nThe IP address of the default gateway
nThe subnet mask
nHTTP and telnet port number (for
How the MasterSwitch initially gets these values depends on whether or not you will be using a BOOTP server:
nThe MasterSwitch comes with the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) setting enabled. This allows you to configure a BOOTP server to provide the needed subnet mask and IP values:
1)Identify the MAC address of the MasterSwitch. This address is provided on a label that is attached to the MasterSwitch side panel.
2)Refer to your BOOTP server documentation for information on how to use that server to configure the MasterSwitch network values.
nIf you will not be using a BOOTP server you must use a terminal to access the MasterSwitch, and use its console program. To access the console program:
1)Connect one end of the cable that comes with the MasterSwitch to the connector labeled “Serial Port” at the front of the MasterSwitch.
2)Connect the cable to the serial port of the terminal (or terminal emulator).
3)Set the terminal serial port for 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and press <Enter>.

rUse the Passwords option under the MasterSwitch submenu to change the login password.
Note: The console, telnet, and Web control share the same password. When you change the password using the console, telnet, or Web control, you change the password for all three control functions.
rUse the TCP/IP option under the Network submenu to disable BOOTP and define:
a)The IP address for the MasterSwitch.
b)The IP address for the default gateway.
c)The subnet mask value.
rUse the Logout option to exit the console program, or use any of the other main configuration menu options to further define the MasterSwitch operation before you log out.
Note: See Chapter 6 for more information on how to use the console program.
