4: Quick Setup
SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 37
Method #3 Quick Setup on the Command Line Interface
If the SLB branch office manager does not have an IP address, you can connect a dumb
terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program (VT100) to access the command
line interface. (See Connecting a Terminal on page 25.) If the unit has an IP address, you
can use SSH or Telnet to connect to the SLB device.
Note: By default, Telnet is disabled and SSH is enabled. To enable Telnet, use the
Services web page (see 7: Services), a serial terminal connection, or an SSH connection.
To complete the command line interface Quick Setup script:
1. Do one of the following:
With a serial terminal connection, power up, and when the command line
displays, press Enter.
With a network connection, use an SSH program or Telnet program (if Telnet
has been enabled) to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx (the IP address in dot quad
notation), and press Enter. You should be at the login prompt.
2. Enter sysadmin as the user name and press Enter.
3. Enter PASS as the password and press Enter. The first time you log in, the Quick
Setup script runs automatically. Normally, the command prompt displays.

Configure Eth1
Select one of the following:
<1> obtain IP Address from DHCP: The unit will acquire the IP
address, subnet mask, hostname, and gateway from the DHCP
server. (The DHCP server may or may not provide the gateway and
hostname, depending on its setup.) This is the default setting.
<2> obtain IP Address from BOOTP: Permits a network node
to request configuration information from a BOOTP "server"
node.
<3> static IP Address: Allows you to assign a static IP address
manually. The IP address is generally provided by the system
administrator.
