Setting up the Management Ports
Setting up the Management Ports consists of the following actions:
• Setting up the Serial Connection (below)
• Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address (page 36)
• VTrak Default IP Addresses (page 37)
• Setting up VTrak with the CLI (page 37)
• Setting up VTrak with the CLU (page 39)
Setting up the Serial Connection
VTrak has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its functions,
including customization. A subset of the CLI is the Command Line Utility (CLU), a
user-level interface that manages your VTrak via your PC’s terminal emulation
program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. This procedure uses the serial cable
connection you made. See “Setting Up Serial Cable Connections” on page 31.
1. Change your terminal emulation program settings to match the following
specifications:
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
2. Start your PC’s terminal VT100 or ANSI emulation program.
3. Press Enter once to launch the CLI.
4. At the Login prompt, type administrator and press Enter.
5. At the Password prompt, type password and press Enter.
At this point, you are in the CLI. You can continue using the CLI to make
network settings or you can switch to the CLU. Go to:
• Setting up VTrak with the CLI (page 37)
• Setting up VTrak with the CLU (page 39)
Choosing DHCP or a Static IP Address
When you setup your VTrak, you have the option of:
• Enabling DHCP and letting your DHCP server assign the IP address to the
VTrak’s virtual management port.
• Specifying a static IP address for the VTrak’s virtual management port.
