Configuring the Z-Plex

Quick start system configuration

3.Change the default user password. For example:

user> SET USER:PASSWD:zplex321

The password can be from 7 to 12 characters long. The password is used any time you log into the Z-Plex unit to manage it.

4.Configure SNMP agent addresses, community strings, and enable traps, if necessary. For example:

user> SET CPUCFG:IPHOST1:1:192.168.10.21 user> SET CPUCFG:IPHOST2:1:192.168.10.22 user> SET CPUCFG:RDCOMSTRING:1:W23rw user> SET CPUCFG:WTCOMSTRING:1:q34mw

5.Configure a management interface, either DS024, Ethernet, or IP over FDL. (FDL over typically used only for a connection to a Premisys IMACs). For example, the following commands configure a DS0 management interface:

user> SET T1CFG:DS0:1:ON

user> SET CPUCFG:MASKHDL:1:255.255.255.252 user> SET CPUCFG:IPHDL:1:192.168.8.22

6.Assign static routes if necessary. For example, the following command configures a static host route to 62.6.5.34 with a gateway of 192.168.8.21 (the IP address of the Z-Plex Ethernet interface):

SET ROUTE:ADDHOSTRT:10:62.6.5.34:192.168.8.21

Static routes might be necessary to telnet into the Z-Plex to manage it.

7.Set the date on the system. For example, the following commands prompt you for the system date:

user> SET DATE

The system prompts you for the date in mm:dd:yyyy hh/mm/ss format.

8.Configure basic system contact information such as name, location, and contact.

user> SET SYSTEM:SYSCONTACT:Scott_Berman user> SET SYSTEM:SYSNAME:ZPlex-10-2-1

user> SET SYSTEM:SYSLOCATION:10th_flr-rack_2-unit_1

9.Reboot the system:

user> REBOOT
