Conﬁguring the RaQ 4 for the network

Now that you have made the network and power connections, you can conﬁgure

the network settings.

The RaQ 4 requires speciﬁc network information to function properly. You must

enter the necessary information using the LCD console on the front panel.

Before you proceed, make sure you have the following information:

• the IP address assigned to the RaQ 4

• the subnet mask of your network

• the gateway/router address (necessary only if communicating with other

networks)

Using the LCD console to conﬁgure the network

You can initialize a RaQ 4 through the serial console port rather than through the

LCD console. For more information, see “Initializing the RaQ 4 through the

serial console port” on page 171.

Figure 9 shows the LCD console for the RaQ 4.

The LCD screen on the front of the RaQ 4 displays two lines of text. The top line

of the LCD presents instructions on data to enter; the bottom line displays the

data already entered. Use the arrow buttons to the right of the LCD screen to

enter the required network information manually.

Appendix A, “Using the LCD Console”, provides more information about the

LCD console.
