Unique IP address that is valid on your network (unless automatically assigned)
Subnet mask (unless automatically assigned)
Gateway
DNS settings
Date, time, and time zone
Console port settings: baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control
Make sure the SLC console manager is plugged into power and turned on.

With the SLC console manager powered up, you can use the front panel display and pushbuttons
to set up the basic parameters. Figure 4-2 shows the front panel.
Figure 4-2 Front Panel LCD Display and Arrow Pushbuttons
The front panel display initially shows the host name and the date and time. Using the five
pushbuttons, 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.
