Installation and configuration 25

11.

Save the new configuration. To save the new configuration, select Y. All settings relating to the SL-APM

Ethernet and serial interfaces are persistent and stored in the SL-APM.

Serial port configuration

Verify that the client matches the following settings:

Baud rate115200

Data bits8

Stop bits1

ParityNone

Flow controlNone

To set a different serial baud rate, enter SET SERIAL <BAUD_RATE>, where <BAUD_RATE> is the baud

rate setting to be used.
A change in the baud rate immediately takes effect. You must change the settings on your client to match the

settings on the SL-APM.

Network configuration

The SL-APM enclosure has two MAC address labels, one for each slot. The MAC address is slot-specific. You

might need the MAC address when you configure the DHCP server to access SL-APM. To view the MAC
address, enter SHOW INFO. For more information, see "Showing configurations (on page

58

)."

Setting a static IP address

To set a static IP address and subnet mask, enter SET IP <ip_address> <subnet_mask>, where

<ip_address> is the IP address and <subnet_mask> is the subnet mask.
To return to DHCP, enter SET IP DHCP.

Setting the network default gateway

To set the network default gateway enter SET GATEWAY <ip_address>, where <ip_address> is the IP

address. SL-APM always uses the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
To clear the gateway, enter SET GATEWAY NONE.

Showing the IP address

To show the IP address, enter SHOW IP. The following information appears:

IP Address appears in x.x.x.x format

IP Mask appears in x.x.x.x format

Gateway appears in x.x.x.x format

Verifying network communication

To verify the network communication is working, enter PING <IP address>, where <IP address> is the

IP address you want to test.
