Task 9: Setting the IP Address
Setting up the Serial Connection
ASUS Storage has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its
functions, including customizing. A subset of the CLI is the Command Line Utility
(CLU), a user-level interface that manages your ASUS Storage via your PC's
terminal emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. This procedure
uses the serial cable connection you made in "Task 6: Setting Up Serial Cable
Connections" on page 27.
You must use the CLI or CLU to assign an IP address to the ASUS Storage to
enable a network connection for ASUS Storage Management.
1.
Change your terminal emulation program settings to match the following
specifications:
•
Bits per second: 115200
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: none
2.
Start your PC's terminal VT100 or ANSI emulation program.
3.
Press Enter once to launch the CLI.
4.
At the Login prompt, type administrator and press Enter.
5.
At the Password prompt, type password and press Enter.
At this point, you are in the CLI.
You can continue using the CLI to make network settings. See the ASUS
Storage DS300f, DS300i User Manual for more information.
Or you can switch to Setting up with the CLU on page 35.
Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address
When you setup your ASUS Storage, you have the option of:
•
Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to the
ASUS Storage's management port.
•
Specifying a static IP address for the ASUS Storage's management port.
If you choose to enable DHCP, have your Network Administrator dedicate an IP
address for the ASUS Storage, linked to the ASUS Storage's MAC address. This
action will prevent the DHCP server from assigning a new IP address when the
ASUS Storage restarts, with the result that users can no longer log in.
