Network Management Card: Quick Configuration

Remote access to the control console

From any computer on the same subnet as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to a Network Management Card, and then use Telnet to access that Card’s control console and configure the needed TCP/IP settings.

After a Network Management Card has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to access that Network Management Card.

Note

1.Use ARP to define an IP address for the Network Management Card, and use the Network Management Card’s MAC address in the ARP command. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a Network Management Card that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following commands:

– Windows command format:

arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67

– LINUX command format:

arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67

For the MAC address, look on the nameplate of the NetworkAIR IR In-row

Precision Air Conditioner.

Note

2.Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:

– Windows command format:

ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113

– LINUX command format:

ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113

3.Use Telnet to access the NetworkAIR IR System at its newly assigned IP address. For example: telnet 156.205.14.141

4.Use apc for both user name and password.

5.See “Control console” on page 52 to finish the configuration.

Control console
