4: Quick Setup
SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 49
Method #1 Using the Front Panel Display
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
Unique IP address that is valid on your network (unless automatically assigned)
Subnet mask (unless automatically assigned)
Gateway (unless automatically assigned)
DNS settings (unless automatically assigned)
Date, time, and time zone
Console port settings: baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control
Make sure the SLC advanced console manager is plugged into power and turned on.
Front Panel LCD Display and Keypads
With the SLC unit powered up, you can use the front panel display and buttons to set up the basic
parameters.
Figure 4-2 Front Panel LCD Display and Five Button Keypad (Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right)
The front panel display initially shows the hostname (abbreviated to 14 letters) and the date and
time.
When you click the right-arrow button, the SLC network settings displays. Using the five buttons on
the keypad, you can change the network, console port, and date/time settings and view the
firmware release version. If desired, you can restore the factory defaults.
Note: Have your information handy as the display times out without accepting any
unsaved changes if you take more than 30 seconds between entries.
Any changes made to the network, console port, and date/time settings take effect immediately.
Navigating
The front panel keypad has one Enter button (in the center) and four arrow buttons (up, left, right,
and down). Press the arrow buttons to navigate from one option to another, or to increment or
decrement a numerical entry of the selected option. Use the Enter button to select an option to
change or to save your settings.
