5-10 CHAPTER 5: ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT USING VT100

Configuring and Viewing Setup Information

The Management Setup screen, as shown in Figure 5-5, is used to configure IP, IPX and SLIP parameters for the hub. This screen also provides access to other screens for you to set up traps and console port parameters.

If you have no previous knowledge of IP, refer to Appendix B for more information.

Figure 5-5 Management Setup Screen

MAC Address The MAC address of the hub. This cannot be changed.

Device IP Address If using IP, you need to enter a unique IP address for the hub, see “IP Addresses” on page B-1. You may use the BOOTP facility (see the BOOTP Select field description) if your network has a BOOTP server, or enter it manually. If you change the device IP address, you must reset the hub to effect the change.

CAUTION: To ensure that Quick Config Manager can always communicate with the hub, the IP subnet 192.168.101.x is permanently assigned to the SLIP port in addition to the user configurable SLIP address. Do not use this subnet for your Ethernet (network).

Device SubNet Mask If using IP, enter a suitable subnet mask. BOOTP does this automatically. For a class B IP address, 255.255.0.0 is suitable. If you change this field, reset the hub to effect the change.

Default Router If necessary, enter the IP address of the default router on your network. BOOTP does this automatically. If you change this field, reset the hub to effect the change.
