12. Type the following commands on the 7036-P16 command line using the information gathered in Step
1 to complete the IP Address configuration:
set config ip=[IP Address]
set config submask=[Subnet Mask]
set config gateway=[IP Gateway Address]
set config dns=[Name Server Address]
set config dhcp=off
set config hostname=[Host Name]
set config domain=[Domain Name]
13. As a precaution, you can deactivate the ping-ARP and RARP options. To deactivate the ping-ARP
and RARP options type the following commands:
set config Ping-ARP=off
set config RARP=off
14. If the user plans to use the Digi RealPort software on the host server to control all the 7036-P16
ports, then the system ports must be configured for use with the Digi RealPort software. Type the
following command: set port range=* dev=rp
15. Issue the reboot command to the 7036-P16 in order to permanently set the changes. Type the
following command: boot action=reset
When the 7036-P16 reboots, then the network configuration is complete.
The 7036-P16 can now be accessed through the Ethernet connection. The user can program other features
as required. See additional documentation on the 7036-P16 Software and Documentation CD.
Direct-attach configuration method
A regular tty terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program, may be attached directly to any
one of the 16 ports and commands entered on the 7036-P16 command line to configure the 7036-P16 onto
the network.
This method requires the user to be in the same room as the 7036-P16. This method requires the user to
have a tty terminal or a PC available. This method requires a serial cable to connect the tty terminal or
PC to the server. This method is independent of the operating system installed on the server.
To configure the 7036-P16 device into the network using this method, do the following steps:
1. Gather the following information from the system or network administrator:
v MAC Address: [MAC Address] (MAC Address label is on the back of the 7036-P16)
v IP Address: [IP Address]
v Default Gateway: [IP Gateway Address]
v Name Server: [Name Server Address]
v Subnet Mask: [Subnet mask]
v Host Name: [Host Name]
v Domain Name: [Domain Name]
2. Connect the power cord from the 7036-P16 to a power source and power up.
3. Connect the serial cable from tty terminal to the 7036-P16.
4. Log in to the 7036-P16 as the root user, use the default password dbps.
5. After login, you can change the root password. Type:newpass
6. To view the current configuration, type: set config
7. Type the following commands on the 7036-P16 command line using the information gathered in Step
1 to complete the IP Address configuration:
set config ip=[IP Address]
set config submask=[Subnet Mask]
set config gateway=[IP Gateway Address]
