Connecting the data networking hardware

This section describes how to connect network cards to the BCM1000.

Warning: Check with your network administrator before you connect the BCM1000 base unit to the network to ensure there are no IP address conflicts.

The default address for the BCM1000 system:

• IP: 10.10.10.1

•Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Warning: If the default IP address would create a network conflict, you must change the IP address of the BCM1000 before you connect any network connections.

To change the IP address outside of a network, you can use one of the following:

•a terminal and a null modem cable

•a computer and an ethernet crossover cable

Refer to “Using a null modem serial cable” on page 125 or “Using an Ethernet crossover cable” on page 128 for detailed instructions about connecting to the base unit.

Connecting the cards

The data networking hardware is installed in the BCM1000 at the factory. All systems that use remote data management have one LAN card. Some systems have a LAN and a WAN card. Some systems can have two LAN cards. Some systems also have a modem card. Figure 48 shows one of four profiles available.

Your system may not have all the cards indicated.
