Tripp Lite B050-000 - Manual (Page 28)

Chapter 4. Configuration
Initial Configuration via Serial Console
To configure the B050-000 via serial interface both a serial port replicator cable and a
null modem cable are required (available separately).
Using a serial terminal, the B050-000 has a serial line interface (rear side). This connec-
tor is compliant with the RS 232 serial line standard. To establish a serial connection
use a standard NULL-Modem cable. The serial line has to be configured with the
parameters given in Table 4-2.
When configuring with a serial terminal, reset the B050-000 and immediately press
the “ESC” key. You will see a “=>” prompt. Enter “config”, press “Enter” and wait
for a few seconds for the configuration questions to appear.

IP autoconfiguration
With this option you can specify whether the B050-000 should get its
network settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server. For DHCP, enter “dhcp”,
and for BOOTP enter “bootp”. If you do not specify any of these, the IP
autoconfiguration is disabled and subsequently you will be asked for the
following network settings.
IP address
The IP address the B050-000 uses. This option is only available if IP autoconfig-
uration is disabled.
Net mask
The net mask of the connected IP subnet. This option is only available if IP auto-
configuration is disabled.
Gateway address
The IP address of the default router for the connected IP subnet. If you do not
have a default router, enter
0.0.0.0 . This option is only available if IP autocon-
figuration is disabled.
