Booting up and assigning addresses, masks, and default gateways
The hosting appliance is "headless" (it can't be directly connected to a monitor) and can be administered remotely using its Web interface (in Netscape Navigator* 4.73 or Internet Explorer 5.0). To access the hosting appliance via a browser, you must do the following:
Although not recommended, the hosting appliance can also be configured without using the interface. For more information, see Configuring
using the COM ports.
Error codes
If you see "XXXX" (a four-digit number) on the LCD, it's an error code. During boot up, the hosting appliance will display error code 0109 indicating that a keyboard is not attached to the hosting appliance. Please ignore this error code, and do NOT use a keyboard or mouse with the hosting appliance. You may have to press the power button, then press it a second time to begin the cycle again. For error code definitions, see BIOS
error codes.
To boot the hosting appliance
- Grasp the pull tab on the right end of the hinged bezel door.
- Gently pull the tab down to swing open the hinged bezel door.
- Press the power button.
- Wait approximately 1-3 minutes while the appliance boots. A splash screen will appear on the LCD while the software loads.
Icons during boot up
The LCD displays two icons as the hosting appliance boots: A square divided into four sections and an hourglass. When the upper right section of the square is black, the hosting appliance is in POST (performing Power-On Self Test). When both upper sections of the square are black, the hosting appliance is preparing to load the operating system. The hourglass symbol will appear until the operating system starts and the splash screen appears.
To assign a static IP address
- After booting, the hosting appliance displays the Set IP Address menu with blank octets. Enter an IP address for the appliance by selecting a number for each zero in each octet:
I
- For each zero in each octet, use the up button to change the value from 0 to 1, 2, 3, and so on. All numbers must be entered using three digits. For values less than 100, this will require at least one padding zero. As an example, 5 would be entered as "005" while 79 would look like "079." You can't set an octet outside the maximum value (255) or the minimum value (000).
- To move the cursor from one zero to another zero, use the right or left buttons. If the cursor is in the square space, pushing the down button advances you to the next screen.
To assign a subnet mask
- After entering an IP address, advance to the Set Network Mask menu. Enter the subnet mask by selecting a number for each zero in each octet:

- For each zero in each octet, use the up button to change the value from 0 to 1, 2, 3, and so on. You can't set an octet outside the maximum value (255) or the minimum value (000).
- To move the cursor from one zero to another zero, use the right or left buttons. If the cursor is in the square space, pushing the down button advances you to the next screen, while the up button moves you to the previous screen.
To set a default gateway
- After entering the subnet mask, advance to the Set Default Gateway menu. Enter the default gateway by selecting a number for each zero in each octet:

- For each zero in each octet, use the up button to change the value from 0 to 1, 2, 3, and so on. You can't set an octet outside the maximum value (255) or the minimum value (000).
- To move the cursor from one zero to another zero, use the right or left buttons. If the cursor is in the square space, pushing the down button advances you to the next screen, while the up button moves you to the previous screen.
- The next screen displays a No or Yes selection list. To select an option, press the right button. To move back to the previous screen, press the left button. Selecting "No" displays the previous screen, while "Yes" sets the network configuration and displays the Main menu. A "Please Wait" message appears for several minutes before the Main menu appears.
