4.2 NETWORK PARAMETERS


The SNMP/Web adapter connects to the network using the following parameters:

IP address

identifies the adapter on the network.

Subnet mask

defines a range of addresses within the organisation.

Gateway

the node used for connection to addresses outside the subnet.

The adapter can be configured to obtain these settings automatically using DHCP or BOOTP protocols,
or to use static addresses (manual configuration).


4.2.1 Default configuration

The SNMP/Web adapter comes with a pre-configured MAC address, with the following format:
00:12:93:Fx:xx:xx

00:12:93 identifies the manufacturer.

x:xx:xx is a unique code for every adapter.

The MAC address is written on a label sticker on the SNMP/Web adapter.

The factory default configuration for the SNMP/Web adapter is using DHCP. Assign the IP address to the
adapter MAC address in your DHCP server. Then reboot the adapter in order to have it retrieve the IP
address. The adapter is now accessible and configurable over the network.




4.2.2 Reboot

Every time the network settings are changed, these become effective only after a reboot. The adapter
can be rebooted:

Manually, pressing the reset button on the front of the adapter

Using the console interface (either serial connection or telnet) by injecting the reboot command

Using a web browser, selecting ‘Reboot’ in the menu
