Configuration Methods
The IM can be configured over the serial port via a terminal, terminal
emulation utility or over Ethernet via a Telnet utility, Internet Web browser, or
SNMP management tool. FTP is also supported on Ethernet to upgrade
firmware revisions.
Serial
The serial port allows for configuration of device characteristics from an
attached terminal or terminal emulator. For instructions on use of the serial
interface, see Setting up Serial Port Communications in the HP Surestore
Interface Manager Installation and Service Guide.
Ethernet
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port must first be configured via the serial port
prior to use with either DHCP, or appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway.
Telnet
The IM is capable of holding Telnet sessions for configuration purposes. To
open a Telnet session, the IP address of the IM and a Telnet client utility are
required. The Telnet command may be used from any open window on a HP-
UX system or from the command prompt on most Windows NT systems. Start a
Telnet session using the following steps:
1. On HP-UX‘, open a terminal window. On Windows NT, open a command
prompt window.
2. At the ‘>’ prompt, enter the following command:
TELNET where is the IP address of the
IM. This will start a Telnet session for the IM. On Windows NT, a separate
Telnet session window will appear.
3. Enter [admin] for the default user name and press [enter] for the default
password. It is recommended that you change the password as soon as
possible. See Changing the Administration Password Using Telnet on
page 40 for more information.
4. Access configuration options via the menu system.
5. To exit the Telnet session on HP-UX, simply close the window. On
Windows NT, you may select the disconnect option from your Telnet client
utility. In most Telnet utilities, this option is available as a menu item.
