Hi Weblacky,

here are steps to get L2 going:

0. Wire up your 48V DC PS (see my blog page - or do search here for details from Jan-Jaap)
1. Connect to the L2 Console port (serial 38400) (there are two ports - console & modem)
2. Connect L2 to ethernet network
3. Power up L2, you should see the boot diags coming via serial console port
4. (Wrong - as this config will be lost on reboot) On L2 go into "shell" , this will take you into the L2 underlying "BusyBox" unix shell (via serial)
5. (Wrong - as this config will be lost on reboot) From shell set IP address using "standard" UNIX "ifconfig" utility (via serial)
6. (Wrong) From shell confirm you can ping another machine on your network (via serial)
7. (Wrong) Exit shell (via serial)
4. (Right) use L2 ip command to set ip/netmask/broadcast
5. Set your date/time zone
6. Unplug power and confirm ip address & date/time zone have been keep over power cycle.
8. Reboot L2 (l2_reboot or reboot_l2 ... read the manual ;-) ) (via serial)
9. Now on reboot you should be able to telnet into the L2 and no need for serial connection anymore.. (via any box on network with telnet)
10. Does not work !!!!

if you get to 10, then I will recheck with an actual L2 to validate what I have put in from my poor memory ;-)

EDIT: I had to replace L2 on my O350, yesterday so re-validated this, lots of "Wrongs" so memory not so good...

Cheers from Oz,
