Installation and Setup Software Configuration

3–2

The Remote Setup Wizard has the following requirements:

• Computer running Windows XP or a higher version.

• Connection between the array and computer. There are two options:

– Connect the computer to the same Ethernet segment as the array, and

make sure that Layer 2 multicasting is not blocked between the array and

the computer.

– Use an RJ45 network cable to connect the computer to Ethernet 0 on the

array’s active control module (ACT LED will be green).

About the setup Utility

The setup utility is an interactive, command line utility that prompts for

information about the array and group configuration.

To use the

setup utility, you must have a serial connection between the array and

a console terminal or a computer running a terminal emulator.

After choosing a method, collect the information needed for the array

configuration.

Step 2: Collect Configuration Information

Regardless of the method you use to configure the software, you must collect the

information in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. Obtain IP addresses from your network

administrator, as needed.

Also, make sure you follow the network recommendations in Table 2-1.

Table 3-1: Array Configuration
