change the password as soon as you can with the command

passwd

3. Connect the DCM's

NETWORK port to your network, and power

cycle it. Log in again.

4. If your network

does not use DHCP, type

gcfgdbset net.eth.0 static

to make the DCM use a static IP address instead, and set the

address with

gcfgdbset net.eth.0.netmask 255.255.255.0

gcfgdbset net.eth.0.address your-address

Here, your-address should be replaced with the IP address

you want the DCM to use. The IP address you choose must be

unique on your network.

If you are connecting the DCM to a machine on the same
network, you do not need to configure any more options at this

stage.

If your network uses DHCP, you will not need to perform this
step. Instead, ensure the DCM is also using DHCP with

gcfgdbset net.eth.0 dhcp/bootp

5. Issue the command ifconfig

The DCM will reply with technical information on its current
network setup. Each interface is listed separately. The

NETWORK port uses the interface eth0:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:20:C0:FF:E2

inet addr:192.168.48.187 Bcast:192.168.48.255

Mask:255.255.255.0

If the interface is correctly set up, its IP address will be shown
after inet addr: (here, 192.168.48.187.)
