Configuring the LX-4000 Series for the First Time
Configuring the LX-4000 Unit for the First Time
You can choose from five options to configure the unit for the first time:
• First Time Configuration Utility - The first time an LX-4000 unit boots up at default
parameters, you are presented with the option to run the Initial Connectivity setup. Enter y and
press <Enter>. Refer to “First Time Quick Configuration” for further details.
• Assign the IP Address via the Network - Refer to “Assigning an IP Address via the Network”
for further details. Use this option if your network is using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP.
• Setting the IP Address Manually - Refer to “Manually Setting the IP Address Via the CLI”.
• Creating and Loading a Default Configuration File - Refer to “Applying Default
Configurations to Other Units” in the LX-Series Configuration Guide.
• Configuring the LX-4000 Manually via the CLI - Refer to “Upgrading Software with the
ppciboot Main Menu” in the LX-Series Configuration Guide.
First Time Quick Configuration
NOTE: The first time quick configuration runs only on the DIAG port (port 0) on all models when
booting from default parameters. The DIAG port (port 0) of the LX-4008, LX-4016, and LX-
4032 is on the rear of the unit. The LX-4048 DIAG port (port 0) is on the front of the unit.
NOTE: Display problems may occur during bootup when you attach a terminal to the DIAG port
(port 0) and the display setup is configured to Smooth-2 Scroll. To avoid this, change the
scroll setting to Jump Scroll.
Use the following procedure to configure your LX-4000 unit for the first time.
1. Plug in the terminal at the DIAG port (port 0 - port values are 9600 bps, eight data bits, one stop
bit, no parity, and Xon/Xoff flow control). The Main Menu appears.
