If your environment does not provide KVM access and DHCP is not available on the network, you can connect to the Gateway for configuration via the ILOM (Integrated Lights Out Manager) by using the Serial Management Port. Note that serial access is command line access only.
To establish a serial connection:
  1. Connect to the Serial Management Port on the back of the appliance (labeled SER MGT CAT5) using a standard Ethernet cable. This may require using the DB9-RJ45 adapter provided with the appliance. You may need to contact your IT department if you need a CAT5 to DB9 adapter, or a USB to DB9 adapter if your console device (for example, a laptop computer) does not have DB9.
  2. Start your terminal program (HyperTerminal, Minicom or similar) to establish a serial connection using the following settings:
    8N1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
    9600 baud
    Disable hardware flow control
    Disable software flow control
  3. When the terminal screen appears, press [
    Enter
    ] to display the login prompt. Log in with the following credentials:
    Username: 
    root
    Password: 
    changeme
    The ILOM Command Line Interface (CLI) is displayed. (Note that the same interface is available over SSH on the network or via a serial connection.)
Configuring the ILOM IP Address
The command line can be used to set the IP address of the ILOM, to enable access to the Web GUI from a static IP on a laptop or other external computer.
To configure the ILOM IP address:
  1. Enter the following command to set the working directory:
    -> cd /SP/network
  2. Enter the following commands to configure the network:
    set pendingipdiscovery=static
set pendingipaddress=192.168.7.7
set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
set commitpending=true
  3. On the external computer, set the following:
    IP address: 
    192.168.7.8
    Netmask: 
    255.255.255.0
You can now access the ILOM user interface at: http://192.168.7.7. Log in with the following:
User Name: 
root
Password: 
changeme
