6. Network Setup
(SNMP network manageable units only)
To perform initial setup of the unit you will need a serial terminal capable of 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1
stop bit. Connect this terminal to the DB9 console connector as follows (Use a straight thru M/F cable to connect to
an IBM PC standard DB9 serial port).

After this process is complete you will see a sign-on message displayed on the serial console, i.e.

At this point the console is ready for some low level configurations necessary before you will be able to
communicate with the unit using TCP/IP. You will need to enter an IP address and subnet mask, as well as read and
write SNMP community names if using SNMP, or a web password for browser access. These parameters will be
saved into non-volatile memory, and the system will be reset to allow it to reconfigure with the new settings. Any
time one or more of these parameters is changed; they must be saved followed by a system reset in order for the
changes to become permanent. The following shows a typical setup session. Change the entered parameters to suit
your application requirements. All the console level commands available are described in detail in section 7.
>set ipaddress 192.168.1.200
OK
>set subnetmask 255.255.255.0
OK
>set readcommunityname public
OK
>set writecommunityname private
OK
>save

After the system reinitializes, you will again be greeted by the sign-on message as before. At this time you can
connect a 10 base-T CAT5 cable to the network port on the R1000 and an available port on your hub. The unit will
respond to SNMP and HTTP messages at the assigned IP address. See the MIB Path Summary for a list of SNMP
variables and their functions.
