  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. Access the BMC Java Remote Console. Refer from step 5 step 10 of Launching the SBC 5400 BMC Remote Console.

  6. In the Java Remote Console, at the root prompt, execute the bmcInit.sh command. Assign the BMC management IP address, netmask, default gateway and NTP time server IP address. For example:

    Example:

# ./bmcInit.sh
****************************************************************
***               BMC Initialization                         ***
****************************************************************
Enter BMC management IP (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)     :10.2.13.237
