Using the front panel ethernet connection of the PRI-1 card

1. Plug-in an RJ-45 connector between the PRI-1 Card and the network.
2. Point your browser to 192.168.1.175.

Using the backplane ethernet connection of the PRI-1 card on the Galaxy Expand equipped with an i5 (version 1) Server card

1. Take note of the MAC address of the backplane ethernet interface labeled on the card or its packaging prior to installing.
2. Make sure that there is an active DHCP Server configured either on Ethernet 2 of the Galaxy i5 Server card or on the network connected through the Switch Fabric card front plate ethernet interface.
3. Check the DHCP server for the PRI-1 card’s MAC address to determine its’ assigned IP address.
4. Connect to the card’s IP Address and re-assign the card the desired static IP Address in the same subnet.

Using the backplane ethernet connection of the PRI-1 card on the Galaxy Expand equipped with an i5 (version 2) Server card or a 2930 Server card

1. To avoid an IP address conflict with between the backplane ethernet interface and the PRI Card front panel ethernet interface you MUST either:
   1. Change the IP address assigned to the backplane ethernet interface of the i5 (version 2) Server card or the 2930 Server card from the default 192.168.1.200 to another subnet (these are both labeled Ethernet 0 in the UCX Administration)
      OR
   2. Connect to the ethernet port on the FRONT panel of the PRI-1 card with a laptop configured for the 192.168.1.0 subnet, point your browser to the card’s default address of 192.168.1.175,
   3. Proceed to change the IP Address of the PRI-1 card’s Eth0 to another subnet.
2. Take note of the MAC address of the backplane ethernet interface labeled on the card or its packaging prior to installing.
3. Make sure that there is an active DHCP Server accessible via the PRI-1 card’s backplane ethernet interface.
4. Restart the PRI-1 card.
5. Check the DHCP server for the PRI-1 card’s MAC address to determine its’ assigned IP address.
6. Connect to the card’s IP Address and re-assign the card the desired static IP Address in the same subnet.

2.3 Connect to the PRI-1 card via a browser
