The following procedure describes how to use the Windows PC/terminal to connect the 

Procedure

1. Connect one end of the supplied serial cable (DSUB 9-Pin Female to DSUB 9-Pin Male) to the SBC DB9 serial port and the other end to the serial port of your PC.
   
   
2. Use the following serial port settings of PC.
   . Baud:38400
   . Data bits:8
   . Stop bits:1
   . Parity:None
   . Flow Control:None
   
   
3. Login to the BMC using default credentials:
   At the prompt enter:
   Username: linuxadmin
   Password: <password>
   
   
4. Switch User to 'root' using the command: su -
   Enter the 'root' access password.
   
   

5. At the 'root' level, execute the bmcInit.sh command. Assign the BMC management IP address, netmask, default gateway and NTP time server IP address.
   
   Example:

   Code Block
   language none

1. # sh bmcInit.sh ************************************************************* *** BMC Initialization *** ************************************************************* Enter BMC management IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) : 10.2.12.181 Enter BMC management netmask (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd): 255.255.255.0 Enter default gateway IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) : 10.2.12.1 Enter NTP time server IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) : 10.1.1.2 Enter advanced configuration? <y/n>:n Note: The advanced configuration is used exclusively to configure static routes. For this installation example, enter "n".

1. Code Block
   language none
   Verify your entries.... bmcIpAddr = 10.2.12.181 bmcNetmask = 255.255.255.0 gatewayIpaddr = 10.2.12.1 ntpServerIpaddr = 10.1.1.2 Ok to apply configuration? <y/N>:y Restarting NTP and network services .... Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter. Reconfiguratoin network interfaces...done. Restarting NTP server: ntpd... done. Note: Reboot the BMC after completing the process.

2. Connect the Field Service port of SBC to the Ethernet router and access the BMC over the network.
