Step 3: Configure Network Settings

Before the NRC can be accessed from the network, it must be assigned a network address. Select option 2 to configure the network options.

Below is a screen sequence example as the IP address settings are configured.

Configure network settings:

Present settings for device eth0:

Local IP address = 192.168.1.159

Netmask = 255.255.255.0

Broadcast address = 192.168.1.255

Network address = 192.168.1.1

Enter the following new values.

IP address (enter "DHCP" for DHCP dynamic IP addressing): 192.168.1.175

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Broadcast address: 192.168.1.255

Network address: 192.168.1.1

New parameters for network device eth0:

IP address = 192.168.1.175

Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

Broadcast address = 192.168.1.255

Network address = 192.168.1.1

Accept these settings (y/N)?y

Network device successfully configured.

You must restart the NRC in order for these changes to take affect.

The following IP properties are needed to configure the NRC:

1.IP address

The IP address of the NRC if one has been assigned by the network administrator or “ DHCP” if dynamic network addressing is supported in the network.

2.Subnet mask

Obtain the correct value from your network administrator or press Enter for none.

3.Broadcast address

Obtain the correct value from your network administrator or press Enter for none.

4.Network address

Obtain the correct value from your network administrator or press Enter for none.

These changes will take effect once the NRC needs to be restarted. It is probably easiest to make all the NRC system changes and then restart the NRC at the completion of the changes.

Step 4: Set the Time and Date

Select option 3 to set the correct time and date.

Below is a screen sequence example as the time and date are configured.

Current time: Wed Jul 6 15:24:35 UTC 2005

Please enter new time and date in month,day,hour,minute,year format
