Method 2 – Set 2080E-T Network Address to Match the Local Network
For this method, you will need a PC with a serial port and a standard straight-through RS232
cable. You will also need to determine what IP address, gateway address, and netmask to assign
to the 2080E-T so that it appears on your network. Ask your system administrator about the
correct settings for your network. The default IP address of the 2080E-T is 192.168.1.88. The
following procedure assumes that the network you want to connect to is on 10.10.0.X (the PC is
on 10.10.0.5).
Once you have determined the settings for your network, you need to connect to the Console port
on the 2080E-T using an RJ45-to-DB9 cable (included with the 2080E-T) and a terminal package
(such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY) set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
1. Open your terminal emulator and monitor communications.
2. Power up the 2080E-T.
3. Observe the terminal emulator screen until you see the following prompt:
Welcome to the Command Line Interface
login as:
4. For the user name, type “admin” (default value) and press Enter. For the password, type
“password” and press Enter.
After logging on to the Console port, you will see the following command prompt:
switch>
5. Type “e” command and press Enter to enter the CLI management interface.
The command prompt changes to the following: switch#
6. Type “configure” and press Enter to enter the configuration mode.
The command prompt changes to the following: switch(config)#
7. To change the default IP address to 10.10.0.88 and gateway address of 10.10.0.1, with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (assuming these were the IP addresses received from your
system administrator), you would do the following:
a. Type “ip address 10.10.0.88 255.255.255.0 10.10.0.1” and press Enter.
b. Type “exit” and press Enter to leave the configuration mode.
The command prompt changes to the following: switch#
c. Type “show ip” and press Enter to verify that the IP address has been changed
properly.
After changing the IP address, the new IP address needs to be saved in EEPROM.
8. Type “write memory” and press Enter.
Now you are ready to access the 2080E-T using the new IP address that matches the local
network.
9. Connect the Ethernet cable between the 2080E-T and the PC. If necessary, connect the
2080E-T to the local network (for example, to a router or to another Ethernet switch in the
local network).
10. Open Internet Explorer, and ensure that its settings will allow you to connect to the
IPaddress selected. If the PC uses a proxy server, ensure that Internet Explorer will bypass
the proxy server for local addresses.
The proxy server option may be modified by opening Tools -> Internet Options
->Connections Tab ->LAN Settings->Proxy Server -> bypass proxy for local addresses.
11. Enter the newly changed IP address for the 2080E-T http://10.10.0.88.
12. Enter the username “admin” and default password “password”.
