Administrator for assistance.
NOTE: It is advisable to verify whether another device on your network
is using the same IP address as the SV1115IPEXT before connecting
it to the network, to avoid a conflict. Should an IP address conflict occur
with another device on the network, power off the conflicting device or
assign it another IP address before continuing the installation.
If you are configuring more than a single SV1115IPEXT using the
factory default settings on the WAN port, they cannot be connected to
the network at the same time as they will use the same IP address.
NOTE: Not all IP addresses are valid for a given subnet. If you are
required to change your subnet (and therefore IP address) to configure
the unit, be sure the IP address you choose is within the allowable
range for the 255.255.255.0 subnet.
Once your computer is configured to the same subnet as the
SV1115IPEXT, you can use the IP address 192.168.1.123 to access
the Web configuration system.
Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable
Configuring the SV1115IPEXT using a serial cable is the best choice
if you need to preconfigure the unit before attaching it to a network,
(i.e. when sending to a branch office, customer site, etc). In general,
the Web configuration is preferable because of its intuitive interface
and the fact that you do not have to be within close physical proximity
to perform the configuration. However, if you wish to use the serial
cable method to configure the SV1115IPEXT, you can use any typical
communication software package (UNIX: tip, cu, kermit, minicom;
Windows: HyperTerminal, kermit).
You can use either serial port on the SV1115IPEXT to access the
terminal configuration tool; your choice will dictate the type of cable you
will use to make the connection. The DTE Serial port on the front panel
requires the use of a null modem serial cable. The DCE Serial port on
the rear panel requires the use of a straight through serial cable.
Connect a female end of a serial cable to the serial port used for
serial access on the host computer. Connect the opposite end (male
