This procedure has the prerequisites that the shelf manager has been correctly inserted and seated, and the blue hot-swap LED should be off.
LAT connection offers access to all Shelf Manager configuration tools except the web interface, and the Ethernet connection offers access to all Shelf Manager configuration tools except boot prompt environment variables. For a new Shelf or if the IP address has been forgotten the IP address is set using a local access terminal (LAT) in the ARM Boot environment. A serial interface can be used to provide a LAT connection. This allows manipulation of the shelf manager at all levels including the boot prompt, Linux command line and the shelf manager command line interface. The LAT Serial PC to Shelf manager RJ45 connection is shown below:

1 stop bit.
If it is not possible to establish an Ethernet connection it may be that there is a physical configuration problem.
The shelf manager has a set of four jumpers that direct whether Ethernet traffic routes to the front panel or the back plane of the shelf manager. These jumpers should be set correctly as shown in the figure below. Use the Board Removal procedure for removing the card. For front panel communications, the jumpers should be connected on the pin pairs (1:2) nearest the face plate of the card.

Figure 5 HiperMAX-ATCA Shelf Manager/ jumper pair (2:3) for back plane communications
This procedure has the prerequisites that the shelf manager has been correctly inserted and seated and the blue hot-swap LED should be off.
To configure a single shelf manager, perform the following steps: 1. Connect to the Shelf Manager. See Connect to Shelf Manager. 2. Configure the shelf address by LAT. See Configure the Shelf Address. 3. Configure the root user password by LAT. See Set Password by LAT. 4. Configure the date/time by the LAT. See Set Date / Time by LAT. 5. Configure the IP network definitions by LAT. See Set the IP Address for Network Access by LAT.
This procedure has the prerequisites that the shelf manager has been correctly inserted and seated and the blue hot-swap LED should be off. In addition, the active shelf manager status LED should be on and green, the other should be blinking.
To configure a single shelf manager, perform the following steps: 1. Configure the primary (top) shelf manager as described in Configure Single Shelf Manager above. Page 21 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D00090 Rev A.1
2. Configure the secondary (bottom) shelf manager as described in Configure Single Shelf Manager above. 3. Switchover from the active to the backup shelf manager. See Check Dual Redundant Operation. 4. Repeat Switchover (to ensure it works in both directions).
