Assigning a System Identity
Procedure
1.Connect the serial cable from the Switch’s serial cable port to a terminal or a PC communications port. It can take the system approximately 3 minutes to start up.
2.Using a terminal emulation program, such as Hyper Terminal, press Enter and supply a user name and password when prompted. The factory default user name and password are:
User name: admin
Password: setup
A menu appears that allows you to enter the following:
•Management IP Address
•IP Subnet Mask
•Gateway IP Address (optional)
•Allow HTTP Management (default)
•Interface IP Address
•Controlled Crash
•Reset to Factory Defaults
3.Follow the screen prompts. Some of the descriptions of the fields required to complete this procedure are in the section, “Startup Configuration Requirements,” on page 4-
Allow HTTP Management enables you to manage the Switch using a Web browser.
A Controlled Crash forces the Switch into a hard crash state, which creates a core dump file that Nortel Networks Customer Support can analyze to help diagnose problems, such as the Switch is hung or it does not respond to PINGs. Do not select “C) Controlled Crash” unless instructed to do so by Nortel Networks.
Reset to Factory Defaults returns the Switch to its factory default configuration.
