QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
The following instructions will help you install your
MergePoint service processor manager. Should you require
further assistance, please contact Avocent Technical Support.
Connecting power to the MergePoint SP manager
1
Plug one end of the power cord into the appliance and
plug the other end into a grounded AC power source.

Connecting to the LAN
Using an Ethernet cables, connect the LAN1 (eth0)
network port on the back of the appliance to the external
network, and connect the LAN2 (eth1) port to the internal
network. In a typical installation, the LAN1 port provides
access to the web interface, and the LAN2 port provides
access to the service processors.
(Optional) Connecting a terminal
3
The MergePoint SP manager can be configured to use a
dynamic or static IP address. If your network environment
does not have a DHCP server, or if you wish to use a
static IP address, you can configure an appropriate IP
address. Connect a terminal or server running terminal
emulation software to the serial port on the back panel of
the SP manager using the supplied null modem cable. Set
the terminal to 9600, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no
flow control.
NOTE: Any target devices to be managed by the
MergePoint SP manager must be accessible from the same
LAN.
A prompt appears when a terminal connection is
established. Enter option 2, then option 1 to configure
network settings. Enter the settings appropriate to your
network, then enter 0 (zero) to exit.
