Configuring the CMC
Initial CMC Network Configuration
Connecting to the CMC Using a Network Connection and the Default IP Address,
or a User-Defined IP Address
The CMC is preset for DHCP. To use a static IP address, you must toggle the
CMC setting from DHCP to a static address by either running the LCD
Configuration Wizard, or by using a management station and CLI
commands.
If toggled to use a static address, the CMC IP address defaults to the standard
IP address settings of 192.168.0.120, 255.255.255.0, and gateway of
192.168.0.1. You can change this address to an IP address of your choice.
For initial configuration instructions, see "Configuring the CMC Network
Settings Using the LCD Configuration Wizard" on page 28. To use a
management station/local connection and CLI, see "Configuring the CMC
Network Settings Using a Management Station and CLI" on page 30.
Configuring the CMC Network Settings Using the LCD Configuration Wizard
When you first start up your system, the screen on the LCD module directs
you to configure the CMC network settings.
