Converting mpx100 to HP® Data Migration Appliance
Product Affected
Device Name Part Number
mpx100 AE324-63003
To convert an mpx100 to an HP data migration appliance, follow these steps:
1. Reset factory defaults:
If the mpx100 unit has been previously used, it must be reset to the factory defaults. If the mpx100 is
brand new, skip to Step 2.
To reset the router and restore it to the factory default configuration, use a pointed, nonmetallic tool
to press and hold the maintenance button until the heartbeat LED flashes 20 times, then release the
button. The router boots and is restored to the factory defaults. The boot time is less than one minute.
Figure 1 shows the LEDs and maintenance button.
2. Configure access to the mpx100 management port:
a. Connect the router’s 10/100 Ethernet port to your workstation using a switch or hub. Alternatively,
b. Make sure the workstation connected to the mpx100 router has Ethernet address 10.0.0.x,
c. From the workstation, open a command window. Using a telnet session, connect to the mpx100
