Network Setup
This section is intended to help ISP or network technicians install the WatchDog. If this section does not
make sense to you, it is strongly advised to request the service of a network technician.
Default Configuration
The WatchDog’s Wide Area Network (WAN) port default is setup as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) client. The script to configure the port is only executed on start-up. To pull down an
Internet Protocol (IP) address, it needs to be attached to a DHCP server when it is booted.
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is printed on a label that is attached to the front of the
WatchDog board.
Configuring the WatchDog Network Settings
To access the WatchDog setup, connect a computer to the LAN (Local Area Network) port of the board,
using a CAT5 network cable. Refer to
for LAN port location. Make sure the red “SYS”
LED is illuminated on the board, as this ensures the Operating System (OS) has booted completely.
Open a web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox …) and type “http://10.0.0.1/setup” into the
URL bar. (Where you would normally type www.google.com for example.) This will bring up a Login screen
as shown in
.
