The following procedure describes how to use the Windows PC/terminal to connect the SBC serial port and assign it an IP address.

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: root
    Password: <password for root user of BMC> (default: superuser)

  4. Execute the bmcInit.sh command. Assign the BMC management IP address, netmask, default gateway and NTP time server IP address.

    Example:

    # 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".

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