In order to gain network access to the Shelf Manager values are required for the IP address to be assigned, the subnet mask and the default gateway IP address. To set a new IP address:
Login to the shelf manager as root
sentry login: root
Password: (default password leave blank or use password as set in Password Setting)
Welcome to μClinux
BusyBox v0.60.5 (2004.10.20-19:22+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
# reboot Reboot the shelf manager. Interrupt the boot
sequence (simply hit any key) to get the ARM boot prompt.
Then to set IP address at the boot level:
> setenv ipaddr <allocated IP address>
> setenv netmask <subnet mask>
> setenv gateway <default gateway IP address>
> saveenv
> reset
The shelf manager will then boot up, and arrive back at the login prompt
sentry login:
Login to the shelf manager as root and complete the configuration and set IP address at the application level.
sentry login: root
Password:(default password leave blank or use password as set in Password Setting)
BusyBox v0.60.5 (2004.10.20-19:22+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
#
# clia setlanconfig 1 ip <allocated IP address>
IPM Sentry Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
IP set successfully
# clia setlanconfig 1 subnet_mask <subnet_mask>
IPM Sentry Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
Subnet Mask set successfully
# clia setlanconfig 1 dft_gw_ip <default gateway address>
IPM Sentry Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
Default Gateway Address set successfully

The shelf manager IP address is now assigned and can be verified with ‘ifconfig’. At this point the shelf manager can now be physically attached to the network via Ethernet cable to the port on the shelf manager front panel. The final step of the above instructions is simply a placeholder for the upgrade image and upgrade utility later in the overall procedure.
These instructions on Shelf Manager Configuration, Configure the Shelf Address, Password Setting, Time/Date setting, Setting the IP Address for Network Access should all be repeated for a second shelf manger if provided.
