CHAPTER 5: Configuring the ePowerSwitch 8XM
5.2 Configuring the network settings of the ePowerSwitch 8XM through a Terminal connection
Remarks:
For security reasons, we advise you to disable the Finder program after the first installation. This program
does not use SSL technology, it is only intended for a first quick installation over the LAN.
If you change the IP address, the system needs to compute new SSL keys. This operation takes several
minutes and the LED marked "S" on the front panel blinks 3 times repeatedly during all the process. During
all this time, you cannot login.
1. Use the supplied RS232 serial cable to connect the serial port marked RS232 on the front panel of the
ePowerSwitch 8XM to an available serial port of your PC.
2. Run a terminal program such as Windows HyperTerminal or the MicroTerminal program on the CD
(“Miscellaneous” folder).
3. Configure the appropriate serial port with the following settings: 9.600 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
and no flow control. If you use the MicroTerminal program on the supplied CD-ROM (“Miscellaneous”
folder) you only have to choose the used serial port, this program is already configured at 9600,n,8,1.
4. On your computer, press <ENTER> until the configuration's menu appears on your screen, then press
"M" and follow the menu to configure the network parameters of your ePowerSwitch 8XM.
The serial connection also enables you to use following commands.
/viewlog Display the log file
/initlog Clear the log file
/initsslkey Compute new SSL keys (needs several minutes!)
/initadminaccount Restore default administrator password
/restorefactconf Restore to factory default settings
