CHAPTER 2: I NSTALLATION 3Chapter 2: InstallationThis section describes the steps necessary to configure Dominion SX for use on a local area network (LAN).All new Dominion SX units come with default network settings, illustrated in the table below. Once unitsare connected to the network, these default settings will allow the user to configure Dominion SX fornormal use.There are three separate tasks you must complete to use Dominion SX on the network: HardwareInstallation, Initial Software Configuration, and Dominion SX Deployment, usually completed in this order,and each described in this chapter.Hardware Installation describes how to connect the Dominion SX unit to a computer to perform the initialconfiguration of the unit. This step requires an additional computer that will be used to log into theDominion SX unit and configure it for the first time in the next section.Initial Software Configuration describes how to connect to Dominion SX in its default state and toconfigure it for use in a specific network environment.Dominion SX Deployment describes how to install a Dominion SX unit on the network once the InitialSoftware Configuration is complete.Pre-Configuration NotesThe following list includes information that you will be required to supply to complete the configuration ofthe Dominion SX. Obtain all required configuration information prior to performing the configuration stepsoutlined below. If you are uncertain of any information, contact your system administrator for assistance.Network Information:• Raritan Unit Name: The name of this unit, a generic term for the Dominion SX unit. This can be 64characters maximum, no minimum, no spaces.• IP address: The IP address of the unit, as directed by your network administrator.• IP subnet mask: The IP subnet mask for the unit, as directed by your network administrator.• IP gateway: The IP gateway for the unit, as directed by your network administrator.• Port Address: As directed by your network administrator (range is 51000-64000, or other port numberhigher than 1024); default value is 51000.Hardware InstallationFigure 2 Rear Panel of 32-port single power supply modelPhysical Installation of Dominion SX for Initial Configuration:1. Obtain a computer with a network card and crossover network cable. This computer will be referred toas the ‘installation computer.’2. Physically mount the unit in an ergonomically sound manner. The unit is designed to be easily rack-mounted, and rack mounting is recommended.3. Connect the crossover network LAN cable to the primary LAN connection on the back of the chassis.Connect the other end to the network card in the installation computer.Primary LAN ConnectionRJ45 serial portsModemSelfTest and Factory Reset LEDTerminal/Factory Reset (RESERVED)
