Installation 95

• Gateway IP address: 10.0.0.1

If the default IP addresses are not compatible with your network, you must set an IP address for each

network port using the CLI embedded in each controller module. The CLI enables you to access the

system using the USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication interface and terminal emulation

software.

NOTE: If you are using the mini USB CLI port and cable, see Rear Panel USB Ports on page 225:

• Unless using Win 10 or Server 2016, Windows customers should download and install the device

driver as described in Obtaining the Software Download on page 227.

• Linux customers should prepare the USB port as described in Setting Parameters for Device Driver

on page 229.

Use the CLI commands described in the steps below to set the IP address for the network port on

each controller module.

Once new IP addresses are set, you can change them as needed using the disk management utility

(GUI). Be sure to change the IP address before changing the network configuration. See the

QXS G2

Disk Management Utility User Guide

for more information concerning the web-based storage

management application.

1 From your network administrator, obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for

controller A and another for controller B.

Record these IP addresses so you can specify them whenever you manage the controllers using the

disk management utility (GUI) or the CLI.

2 Use a USB cable to connect controller A to a USB port on a host computer. The USB mini 5 male

connector plugs into the CLI port as shown in Figure 84 (generic controller module is shown).

3 Enable the CLI port for subsequent communication:

• Linux customers should enter the command syntax provided in Setting Parameters for Device

Driver on page 229.

• Windows customers should locate the downloaded device driver described in Obtaining the

Software Download on page 227, and follow the instructions provided for proper installation.

4 Start and configure a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal or VT-100, using the display

settings used in Ta b l e 10, and the connection settings in Tab l e 11 (also, see the note following this

procedure).
