58 Interface Manager and Command View TL Installation Guide
Note: HP does not recommend using the IP address assigned by DHCP to the Interface
Manager card because it is not a static IP address. With DHCP enabled, the Interface
Manager card will attempt to obtain an IP address every time the card is rebooted. The
new IP address may or may not be the same as the previous address. If the IP address
changes, Command View TL will reconfigure itself automatically with the new IP
address, but the new IP address must be determined before using the Telnet UI.
DHCP is intended to help you get up and running quickly. However, the preferred
method is to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from your
network administrator and manually configure the Interface Manager card with these
settings. Doing so automatically disables DHCP mode and ensures that the IP address
remains the same after successive reboots.
6. To change the IP address enter the following command:
set network ipaddress <IP address> <subnet mask> <gateway
address>
For example:
set network ipaddress 10.1.2.3 255.255.248.0 10.255.255.255
This command requires the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address as
arguments. If any of the arguments are omitted, the command is ignored. The
system displays done when the IP address has been successfully set. This
command automatically disables DHCP mode.
Note: If you later want to re-enable DHCP mode, use the following command:
set network dhcp
7. Use the exit command to end the serial session.
8. Disconnect the serial cable from the Interface Manager card.
9. Using a 5/32 inch Allen wrench, close and secure the back access door of the
library.
