To configure Ethernet Port A, enter the following for auto-sensing mode:
ethertype auto
or to configure a speed and duplex, use the following command:
ethertype <10|100> <half|full>
To display the current configuration and status of the Ethernet ports, enter:
status
For example, to configure a full-duplex 100Mbps link, enter:
ethertype 100 full
To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be
i
configured as auto-sensing.
Step three: Assign an IP address to the VCR (optional)
The default setting for the VCR is to use DHCP to obtain an IP address. You can
assign a static IP address if you prefer or if a DHCP server is not available.
If you want the IP address of the VCR to be assigned by your DHCP server, omit this
step.
To assign a static IP address, use the following command:
static <IP address> <netmask> <default gateway address>
<DNS server address>
If you do not have a DNS server, use 0.0.0.0 as the DNS server IP
i
address.
For example, to assign an address of 192.168.1.2 where the default gateway is at
192.168.1.1, enter:
static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0
To return to using DHCP after setting a static address, use the following command:
dhcp
Step four: Discover the IP address of the VCR
1
To display the current status of the IP address, enter:
If you have DHCP enabled on your network and you are allowing the VCR to
acquire its address using DHCP, the IP address that has been acquired by
Ethernet Port A will be shown; if you have assigned a static IP address, that is the
address that will be shown.
2
Make a note of the IP address. You will use this to access the web interface of the
unit.
