Table10:Terminal emulator connection settings
1
Your server or laptop configuration determines which COM port is used for Drive Array USB Port.
2
Verify the appropriate COM port for use with the CLI.
5. In the terminal emulator, connect to controller A.
6. Press Enter to display the CLI prompt (#).
The CLI displays the system version, MC version, and login prompt:
a. At the login prompt, enter the default user manage and press Enter.
b. At the password prompt, enter the default password !manage and press Enter.
If the default user name, password, or both have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure
login credentials instead of the defaults.
7. At the prompt, enter the following command to set the values you obtained in Step for each Network
port, first for controller A, and then for controller B:
set network-parameters ip address netmask netmask gateway gateway controller a|b
where:
l address is the IP address of the controller
l netmask is the subnet mask
l gateway is the IP address of the subnet router
l
a|b specifies the controller whose network parameters you are setting
For example:
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
controller a
