Network Management Card
3
Initial setup
You must define three TCP/IP settings for the Network Management Card before it can
operate on the network:
• IP address of the Management Card
• Subnet mask
• IP address of the default gateway
Do not use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway. Doing so disables
the card. You must then log on using a serial connection and reset TCP/IP settings to
their defaults.
