) to a PC Ethernet port configured for 100 Mbps (Full Duplex) with an IP Address in the same subnet (for example, 169.254.77.2 /24) and connect to the pre-configured IP address in a web browser.

To configure the BMC for remote access:

2. Verify that both the LEDs at the FSP are lit. If only the left LED is lit, your PC/laptop network adapter link speed may be set to 10Mbps. Check the PC/laptop Device Manager, and if necessary set your PC/laptop link speed to 100 Mbps/Full Duplex.
3. If your PC/laptop uses DHCP and Automatic Private IP Address setting (default setting), the PC/laptop is assigned an IP address in the same subnet as the initial BMC IP; therefore proceed to Step 9. If your PC/laptop does not use DHCP, proceed to the Step 4 to configure a static IP.

4. In Windows 7 operating system, Open Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center. The Network and Sharing Center window is displayed.

   The SBC 5400 is delivered with sample self-signed X.509 certificates. Please be aware that even though these sample certificates will allow you to use HTTPS to access the SBC 5400 from BMC and EMA interfaces, using this protocol with the sample certificates is not a truly secure access method. If your organization requires a more secure access, see Generating PKI Certificates.
