3.2.3 Connecting to the Network Port
Use a conventional fully-pinned Category 5 cable to connect your network connec-
tion to the NETWORK jack (RJ45) on the rear of the chassis.
The SCS’s network port (auto-selecting 10/100) allows remote access to the
attached networking components by the users and the sysadmin functions by the root
user. You can change the network parameters from the front panel of the SCS, or you
may ssh in to the default address and make changes using Linux commands.
3.2.3.1 SCS160R / SCS320R Dual NIC Interface
The SCS160R / SCS320R has dual Network Ports. The default configuration of
these Network Ports has the second Network Port disabled. Initially, only the first NIC
is functional (NETWORK 1 = device
eth0 ). The second NIC (NETWORK 2 =
device eth1 ) must be enabled by the sysadmin.
To configure the second NIC, the sysadmin will log in and use one of the following
commands:
netconfig -d eth1
or
netconfig --device=eth1
Refer to Section 6 for other System Commands.
3.2.4 Connect your Console
The Console port is used for local access to the SCS. Connect your terminal or
computer with a terminal emulation package to the Console port. The SCS’s Console
port has a DCE configuration with adjustable parameters.
The default communication parameters for the Console port are:
• 9600 baud,
• 8 data bits,
• No parity,
• 1 stop bit, and
• Xon/Xoff flow control
Use a conventional fully-pinned Category 5 cable to connect your terminal or com-
puter connection to the CONSOLE jack (RJ45) on the rear of the chassis.
