CNA-8000 Quick Start Guide
Initial Setup of the CNA-8000 through direct attached console:
1. Cable the unit with power and attach suitable monitor (SVGA), keyboard and mouse (USB or
PS2).
2. Power up the unit.
3. Using the mouse, navigate from the [Start] button to select the Firefox browser application to
complete the setup.
Initial Setup of the CNA-8000 through network:
1. Cable the unit (power, Ethernet initially).
2. Edit the FEP4600.ini file on the floppy (see ‘Setting the Initial IP Address’ below).
3. Power up the unit with the floppy in the drive.
4. Using any web browser, connect to the CNA-8000 to complete the setup.
Cabling the Unit
ETH0 ETH1
Power Ethernet Other Adapters
Power:
Two different power cables (and sources) may be used
Ethernet:
Use ETH0 to access the CNA-8000 using RJ45 connections for initial configuration.
ESCON:
Connections are via ESCON Duplex cable.
FICON:
Connection must be matched to the transceiver used, either Short Wave or Long Wave
Setting the Initial IP Addresses:
On the floppy disk included with the unit is a file called FEP4600.ini, which includes a section that looks
like this:
[Network]
eth0_ip=204.48.36.1
NetMask=255.255.255.0
DefaultGateway=204.48.36.250
1. Using a plain-text editor (such as Windows’ Wordpad), change the IP addresses to the desired
values. If the original floppy cannot be located, just create the FEP4600.ini file with the entries
shown above. Note: no whitespace (spaces or tabs) is allowed in these entries.
2. Put the floppy disk back into the CNA-8000 and turn it on. The values in the file on the floppy will
be copied to the permanent copy of FEP4600.ini on the hard disk, and will take affect
immediately. The floppy is not required for subsequent reboots (and should not be left in the
floppy drive as it will overwrite the permanent configuration file during each reboot).
