If the CPS appliance did not successfully obtain its IP address with the BootP protocol, you
will see a display similar to the following.
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
In this case, check the addresses provided to the BootP server to confirm they are correct.
Verify that the Ethernet LAN adaptor cable is correctly installed on the CPS appliance and the
Ethernet hub.
After the network addresses are configured successfully, launch a Telnet session to the assigned IP
address. Then, see Initial CPS appliance login on page 9.
To configure the network addresses using a Telnet CLI:
1. Ensure that your server or workstation has a Telnet client and is located on the same LAN seg-
ment as the CPS network appliance.
2. Use the arp command to update the server or workstation with the IP address and Ethernet
MAC address. The Ethernet MAC address is located on the back panel above the LAN connec-
tor. The arp command is entered as:
arp -s <ip_address> <mac_address>
For example, the following command assigns the IP address 192.168.0.5 and the Ethernet
MAC address 00-80-7d-54-01-54 to the CPS appliance.
arp -s 192.168.0.5 00-80-7d-54-01-54
On a UNIX platform, the MAC address may require colons (:) instead of dashes (-), for
example, 00:80:7d:54:01:54.
3. You may verify that you entered the information correctly by using an arp command with the
-a option.
arp -a
This command shows all arp entries for the server or workstation. See your system
administrator guide if you need additional help with the arp command.
4. After the above arp command is entered correctly, launch a Telnet client to the assigned IP
address. Then, continue with Initial CPS appliance login on page 9.
To configure the CPS appliance using the serial CLI:
1. By factory default, port 1 of the CPS appliance is configured for the serial CLI. To access the
serial CLI, attach a compatible device to port 1. The compatible device types are: ASCII,
VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220 and VT320.
