Configuring the Management-MGT
Module
There are a number of methods which may be used to
configure the MCR-MGT management module:
• Command Line or Menu interface via a direct serial
connection to the console port
• Command Line or Menu interface via Telnet or SSH to
module
• SNMP
• Web Browser (HTTP or HTTPS)
All of the above methods require you to configure an IP
address on the management card to be able to connect and
configure the module except for the direct serial connection
which you can connect directly to the console port. The
management module is pre-configured with an IP address of
10.0.0.10 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. If the PC that
you are using does not reside on this subnet, you will need
to modify either the IP address of the MCR-MGT
management module (using a direct serial connection to the
Management module) or the pc’s IP address in order to
connect and configure the Management module.
The following are two methods in which to set the IP
address of the MCR-MGT Management module.
