Two configuration methods are available for your Total Access 900 Series unit:
•
Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
•
Command line interface (CLI)
The GUI lets you configure the main unit settings and provides online guidance and explanations for each
setting. However, using the AOS CLI may be necessary for more advanced configurations.

GUI

You can access the GUI from any Web browser on your network by following these steps:
1.
Connect the unit to your PC, using an Ethernet cable connected to ETH 0/1 port on the back of the unit.
2.
Set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or
change your PC to a fixed IP address of 10.10.10.2. To change your PC IP address, or to set the PC to
use DHCP, navigate to Computer > Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection
> Properties > IP (TCP/IP) and select either Use this IP address or Obtain an IP address
automatically (this means you are using DHCP). If you are specifying an IP address, enter these
parameters:
IP Address: 10.10.10.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.10.10.1
You do not need to enter any domain naming system (DNS) server information. After the information is
entered, select Ok twice, and close the Network Connections dialog box. If you cannot change the PC's
IP address, you will need to change the unit's IP address using the CLI. (Refer to the next two sections for
instructions.)
3.
Enter the unit's IP address in your browser's address line. The default IP address is 10.10.10.1, but if you
changed the unit's IP address enter that address in the browser line.
4.
You will then be prompted for the user name and password (the default settings are admin and
password).
5.
The initial GUI screen appears. You can access initial setup information by selecting Config Wizard from
the menu on the left.
It is best to only use the Config Wizard for new installations because some existing
settings can be lost or reset when using this wizard.
A
CLI
CCESS THE
Access the AOS CLI using the CRAFT port or a Telnet session. To establish a connection to the unit's CRAFT
port, you need the following items:
•
VT100 terminal or PC (with VT100 terminal emulation software)
•
Straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 (male) connector on one end and the appropriate interface for
your terminal or PC communication port on the other end
You can find VT100 terminals on most PCs by navigating to Start > Programs >
Accessories > HyperTerminal > HyperTerminal. When you have opened a
HyperTerminal session, enter the settings described in Step 4.
