3. System Conﬁguration

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for the initial conﬁguration of your console server and how to connect it to the

Management or Operational LAN.

Notes:

• System conﬁguration must be done by a person with Administrator access.

• For guidance on conﬁguring large numbers of Tripp Lite console servers and/or automating provisioning, sections 15.15 Bulk

Provisioning and 15.16 Zero Touch Provisioning.

3.1 Management Console Connection

Your console server ships conﬁgured with a default IP Address 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Directly connect a computer to the console server.

Note: For initial conﬁguration, it is recommended that the console server be directly connected to a single computer. However, if you choose

to connect your LAN before completing the initial setup steps, it is important that you ensure there are no other devices on the LAN with an

address of 192.168.0.1, and

the console server and the computer are on the same LAN segment, with no interposed router devices.

3.1.1 Connected Computer Setup

To conﬁgure the console server with a browser, the connected PC/workstation should have an IP address in the same range as

the console server (for example, 192.168.0.100):

• To conﬁgure the IP Address of your Linux or UNIX computer, run ifconﬁg.

• For Windows PCs:

 Click Start -> (Settings ->) Control Panel and double-click Network Connections (for 95/98/Me, double-click Network).

 Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties.

 Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

 Select Use the following IP address and enter the following details:

IP address: 192.168.0.100

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

 If you want to retain your existing IP settings for this network connection, click Advanced and Add the above as a secondary

IP connection.

• If it is not convenient to change your computer network address, you can use the ARP-Ping command to reset the console

server IP address. To do this from a Windows PC:

 Click Start -> Run (or select All Programs -> Accessories -> Run).

 Type cmd and click OK to bring up the command line.

 Type arp –d to ﬂush the ARP cache.

 Type arp –a to view the current ARP cache (this should be empty).
