Troubleshooting Management
Connections
If a serial connection does not occur, cycle power by removing the
power cords, waiting for approximately 5 seconds, and then
reinstalling the power cords. In addition, check the terminal
session’s serial port parameters or replace the serial cable. (Make
sure it is a null modem cable, preferably the cable that shipped with
the switch.)
If the Ethernet activity LED is on, make sure you are using a cross-
over ethernet cable (unless using an ethernet hub), or check the IP
addresses on the switch and workstation as follows:
At a command line prompt, type ping DNSorIP (where DNSorIP is
the switch’s DNS name or IP address) and press E
NTER.
If a “Reply from…” or “...is alive...” message appears, the devices
can communicate.
If a “Request timed out” message appears (or the command
times out), the devices cannot communicate. Trace the cabling.
If needed, reconnect the devices.

Emulex
®
Model 375
SAN Storage Switch
Step 1:
Installing & Powering On the Switch
NOTE: Important safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and
regulatory information is contained in the Safety & Regulatory Guide.
The installation and use of this product must be in accordance with
the information provided in that guide.
Place the switch onto a desktop or into a rack. See the Emulex
®
Model 375 User’s Guide or optional rack-mounting kit instructions for
information on installing the switch.
Plug in the switch using the included power cords and power
on the switch.
Step 2:
Preparing a Network Interface
Using the serial interface connector on the switch, set the IP
parameters for managing the switch over an ethernet network.
1. Attach one end of the included RS-232 null modem cable to the
computer’s DB-9 serial port, and attach the other end to the
switch’s DB-9 serial port.
2. Open a terminal session through your serial terminal
emulation program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) with the
appropriate serial port (for example, COM1) and the
following serial port parameters:
Bits per second: 19200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
3. If using HyperTerminal, press E
NTER to receive a prompt.
4. If using the tip command on a UNIX workstation do the following:
a. View the /etc/remote file and create an alias similar to
Hardware but with the serial port parameters above.
(Suggested name: Switch)
b. Use the tip command to establish a connection through the
created alias, for example tip switch. (For more information,
see the tip command Manual page.)
5. Type the password at the prompt and press E
NTER. (The
switch’s default password is password.)

Enter IP address (192.168.1.129): _
The default IP parameters are shown below. If you need to change
these parameters, set the IP parameters as follows.
6. From the root menu, type config network ip and press E
NTER.
The switch’s current IP parameters are displayed along with a
prompt for entering the IP address.
7. Change the IP
address and
press E
NTER.
8. From the root/
config/network
menu, type mask
and press E
NTER.
9. Change the subnet mask and press ENTER.
10. From the root/config/network menu, type gateway and
press ENTER.
11. Change the default gateway and press E
NTER.
12. Type save.
13. Type root reset, press ENTER, type y, and press ENTER again to
reset the switch.
14. Attach one end of an ethernet RJ-45 twisted pair cable into the
switch’s 10/100 ethernet connector and the other end into an
operational ethernet connector.
Step 3:
Initial Switch Setup
The Web Manager provides easy navigation through a graphical
interface to configure the switch’s settings or view switch status.
The Web Manager supports Microsoft Internet Explorer for
Windows version 5.5 or later and Internet Explorer for Apple
version 5.2 or later.
1. Ensure that your
workstation has
access to the network
on which the switch
is connected.
2. Open the Microsoft
Internet Explorer Web
browser.
3. In the address bar, type the switch’s DNS name or IP
address and press E
NTER.
On the left side of the screen, expand and select links for
monitoring and configuring the switch.
4. To change the password, click Switch > Password. Enter
the new password in both text boxes and click Submit.
NOTE: You do not have to change the password on the switch.
However, anyone can make changes to the switch using the
default password until the password is set to a new value.
5. To verify the switch’s current date and time, click
Switch > Date & Time. The Date & Time page displays the
current time settings. If you wish to change the time
settings, enter a new date and time, or click Host Time to
set the date and time to the host system’s settings, and
click Submit.
NOTE: The Web Manager does not require a password unless
you want to modify the switch’s configuration.
6. To enter a name for the switch (if desired), click
Switch > Configuration. On the Switch Configuration page,
enter a name for the switch in the Name text box and
click Submit. When you change a setting, the Web
Manager will prompt you to log into the switch. Type the
correct password and click Log In. (The default password
is password.)
To log out of the Web Manager, click Logout, or simply close
the browser window.
NOTE: The Web Manager will automatically log the user out
after 15 minutes of inactivity, unless the Switch Information
page is displayed. The Switch Information page automatically
updates to display the most current switch status.
