NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
3-3
ATTENTION
If a password has been enabled for the NPort 6000 console and the LCM console is configured
for writeable status, the LCM console will require you to enter the password before allowing you
access. The password will not be required if the LCM console is configured for read-only access.
The MENU button activates the main menu. It is also used to cancel a selection and return to a
previous menu.
The UP and DOWN buttons navigate between available options.
The SEL button confirms a selection or enters a submenu.
The IP environment (Static, DHCP, PPPoE, etc.) is configured under Main Menu Æ Network
setting Æ IP config. The IP address is configured under Main Menu Æ Network setting Æ IP
address. After the address has been entered, you will need to restart the NPort under Main Menu
Æ Save/Restart.
The following instructions explain how to set the NPort 6000’s IP address through the LCM
console:
1. Press MENU to activate the Main Menu.
2. The first line of the display indicates the current menu and should read Main Menu. The
second line indicates the current selection and should read Server setting. Use the UP and
DOWN buttons to select Network setting. Press SEL to enter the Network setting menu.
3. In the Network setting menu, select IP config. Don’t forget to press SEL to confirm your
selection.
4. In the IP config menu, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the option that matches your
IP environment (static, DHCP, etc.). Press SEL to confirm your choice. You may also press
MENU to cancel your selection and return to the previous submenu.
5. You should be back in the Network setting menu. From the Network setting menu, select
IP
address.
6. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to modify the digit currently selected by the blinking cursor.
Press SEL to move to the next digit. Continue modifying the IP address until all digits have
been entered. If you make a mistake, press MENU to cancel all changes and return to the
Network setting menu. You cannot go back one digit.
7. Once you have finished modifying the IP address, your changes are saved but not in effect. In
order for your changes to take effect, you will need to restart the NPort. You may view and
modify your changes by selecting IP address at the Network setting menu again.
8. Press the menu button to exit out of the Network setting menu and return to the Main Menu.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select Save/Restart and press SEL. Use the UP and
DOWN buttons to select Yes and press SEL to restart.
ARP
You may use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your
NPort 6000. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort 6000’s MAC address
with an IP address. Afterwards, use Telnet to access the NPort 6000 and its IP address will be
reconfigured.
