correspond with your network IP settings. If your network doesn’t feature a default gateway,
enter a dummy value in the ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ field.

5.

Click the Reset button and click OK in the prompt; The Mediant 2000 applies the changes
and restarts. This takes approximately 3 minutes to complete. When the Mediant 2000 has
finished restarting, the Ready and LAN LEDs on the front panel are lit green.

Tip:

Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the Mediant
2000. Do the same when defining new username or password. If the
Embedded Web Server is unavailable (for example, if you’ve lost your
username and password), use the BootP/TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
configuration utility to access the device, “reflash” the load and reset the
password (refer to

Appendix B

on page

189

for detailed information on using

a BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device).

6.

Repeat steps 3 to 5 for the Mediant 2000 second module (if used).

7.

Disconnect your PC from the Mediant 2000 or from the hub / switch (depending on the
connection method you used in step

).

8.

Reconnect the Mediant 2000 and your PC (if necessary) to the network.

9.

Restore your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to what they originally were. If necessary,
restart your PC and re-access the Mediant 2000 via the Embedded Web Server with its new
assigned IP address.

4.1.2

Assigning an IP Address Using BootP

Note:

BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible
BootP server.

Tip:

You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the Mediant 2000 (refer
to Section

6.12.1

on page

132

).

To assign an IP address using BootP, take these 4 steps:

1.

Open the BootP application (supplied with the Mediant 2000 software package).

2.

Add client configuration for the gateway that you want to initialize, refer to Section

B.11.1

on

page

195

.

3.

Reset the gateway physically causing it to use BootP; the Mediant 2000 changes its network
parameters to the values provided by the BootP.

4.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Mediant 2000 second module (if used).

4.2

Restoring Networking Parameters to their Initial
State

You can use the ‘Reset’ button to restore the Mediant 2000 networking parameters to their factory
default values (described in

Table

4-1

) and to reset the username and password.

Note that the Mediant 2000 returns to the software version burned in flash. This process also
restores the Mediant 2000 parameters to their factory settings, therefore you must load your
previously backed-up ini file, or the default ini file (received with the software kit) to set them to
their correct values.
