4.3.2.2 Update IP
Address via
Serial Port
To update the IP address on your DNR-X-1G over the serial port, you must first
establish serial communication between your host PC and chassis.
To set up communication over the serial port, do the following:
a. Attach a serial cable between the host PC and the RS-232 port on the
front panel of the DNR-X-1G.
b. Run a serial terminal-emulation program (e.g., MTTTY) on the PC. Any
terminal-emulation program, except HyperTerminal, may be used
(MTTTY, Minicom, TeraTerm, PuTTY, etc.).
c. Verify that COM parameters are set at 57600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1
stop bit.
d. Click Connect in MTTTY, or use the commands on one of the other
terminal-emulation programs to establish communication with the
DNR-X-1G system.
NOTE: Once a connection is made, you will see a DQ> prompt when you press
<Enter>.
To update the IP address on your DNR-X-1G, enter the following commands in
the serial terminal window:
DQ> set ip 192.168.200.65
Enter user password > powerdna
DQ> store
DQ> reset
In the above example, “192.168.200.65” is the new IP address, the default
password is “powerdna”, and reset reboots the system, which is required for
the new IP address to take effect.
To verify, you can type show to display the new IP address. Refer to Section 6.4
for more descriptions of commands you can issue via the serial application,
including descriptions of the set and store commands.
Once your IP address is configured, you can connect the DNR-X-1G NIC to your
host PC or to a switch for communication via a network connection.
4.3.3 How to
Change the
Secondary
(Diagnostic)
IP Address
(NIC2)
To change the IP address of the secondary port (NIC2), you use a serial terminal
program as with the primary port, but instead use the command:
set ip2 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the new IP address for the secondary port.
Then proceed the same as with the primary port. NIC2 IP addresses cannot be
changed using PowerDNA Explorer.
