Installation and configuration 22
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.
You must reboot before baud rate takes effect. You must change the settings on your client to match the
settings on the HP APM.
Network configuration
The HP 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 HP APM. To view the MAC
address, enter SHOW INFO. For more information, see "Showing configurations (on page
59 )."
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. HP 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.
