Quantum Scalar Key Manager 2.5 Quick Start Guide
1 Set the IP address of the laptop or PC you will use to connect to the SKM appliance
server to 192.168.18.100.
2 Connect a CAT5e crossover Ethernet cable from the laptop or PC to Ethernet Port 1
on the rear of the SKM server (see
Figure 1 on page 4).

configuration, you will use Ethernet Port 2 for SKM appliance server
communication via your network.

192.168.18.3.
Note: The IP address of Ethernet Port 1 is a static IP address that cannot be
changed.
