3. Configuration
The CPU IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE’s
communication interfaces are all based on
TCP/IP. The switch comes pre-configured
with the IP configuration detailed here:
If this initial configuration does not meet your requirements, the following section describes the
configuration that is necessary to access the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE for the first time.
3.1 Initial Configuration via a DHCP Server
By default, the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to
which it is physically connected. If a DHCP server is found, it will provide a valid IP address,
gateway address and net mask. Before you connect the device to your local subnet, be sure to
complete the corresponding configuration of your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure
a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE. You can find the
MAC address labelled on the bottom of the switch.
Use the setup tool to adjust the values to your needs. The setup tool can be found on the
supplied CD ROM. Follow the procedure described on the next page (Section 3.3)
3.2 Initial Configuration via a Serial Console
The IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE has a serial line
interface (host side) for connecting a serial terminal.
This connector is compliant with the RS-232 serial
line standard. The serial line has to be configured
with the parameters given in this table:
Parameter Value
IP auto configuration DHCP
IP-Address -
Net-mask 255.255.255.0
Default-Gateway none
Parameter Value
Bits/second 115200
Data bits 8
Parity No
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None
Note: If the DHCP connection fails on boot-up, the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE will not have
an IP address.
When configuring with a serial terminal, reset the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE and immediately
press the ESC key. You will see some device information and a “=>” prompt. Type config and
press the Enter key. Wait a few seconds for the configuration questions to appear.
As you proceed, the following questions will appear on the screen. To accept the default values
(shown in square brackets below) press the Enter key.
