Table 702-3. NMIC IP Addresses and IP Masks Definitions
Command Line
DEFINITION
IP ADDRESS The IP Address for the NMIC. Must be unique for each NMIC.
HOSTNAME The name used for the IP address.
ACTIVE IP The Active IP address. Must be the same for a working/protect NMIC pair.
NETMASK Subnet mask in use. Typically this is 255.255.255.0 for a class C address.
BROADCAST ADDRESS The IP address for broadcasts on a subnet. Typically this is X.X.X.255
where X.X.X is the first three numbers for the valid NMIC IP address.
NETWORK IP ADDRESS The base address for the subnet. Typically this is X.X.X.0 where X.X.X is
the first three numbers of the valid NMIC IP address.
GATEWAY IP IP address of the gateway for the subnet.
10. Enter all information, do not leave anything blank. The gateway may be left blank
depending on configuration. There are no default settings. At the end of the script the user
will be prompted to change the root password. If the password does not need to be changed
just enter the current one; otherwise enter a new root password.
Note: If you make a mistake, you may type CTRL-C and restart at step 9.
11. Reboot the NMIC by typing “shutdown –r now” on the NMIC terminal command line. The
NMIC will reboot and the new IP addresses will take effect.
3. BRINGING UP THE CELLWORX GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE.
Note: A user can display the Cellworx Graphical User Interface on either a PC or a
workstation. To display the Cellworx Graphical User Interface on a PC, the user must
have an X window emulation package, such as Exceed, installed and activated.
12. Set up the personal computer sub-network to match the NMIC sub-network IP address
structure and then reboot the computer.
13. Verify the IP address set on the NMIC using a “ping” command to both NMIC IP addresses
by typing: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx = 255 or less) to ensure both EIMs are operational.
The pings should display on the screen. If the ping delays returning a response and times
out, check Ethernet connection cabling and also verify the correct NMIC IP address was
entered.
14. Establish a Telnet session to the active NMIC using the customer defined IP address set in
DLP-702 (or set up a connection name on X-Terminal for that NMIC and select it.)
15. Logon to the NMIC.
