Barricade Setup using Macintosh
If your PC is not running Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000, you cannot use the
SETUP program on the CD-ROM.
Instead, you must connect to the Barricade, and configure it, using your Web
Browser. Your Web Browser must support JavaScript V1.1.
The interface has been tested to work on the following Browsers:
♦
Netscape Navigator 4.08 or later
♦
Internet Explorer 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5
Connecting to the Barricade
1. Ensure your system has a compatible IP Address and Network Mask (Subnet
Mask).
•
The Barricade's default values are 192.168.123.254 for the IP Address,
with a Network mask of 255.255.255.0. Your PC should use the same Net-
work Mask, and an IP Address in the range 192.168.123.1 to
192.168.123.253.
•
On the Macintosh, you can check using Apple - Control Panel - TCP/IP.
(If this option does not exist, then TCP/IP has not been installed. Use your
Apple system disk to install TCP/IP.)
2. Connect to the Barricade using your Web Browser:
a) Start your Browser
b) In the Address box, enter the following:
HTTP://ip_address
Where ip_address is the IP Address of the Barricade, as in the follow-
ing example:
HTTP:// 192.168.123.254
