NSTALLING THE
The Linktropy WAN emulator is managed through a browser-based GUI over an Ethernet
connection to a dedicated management interface. Prior to operation, this management interface
must be configured with appropriate network settings, either through the Linktropy GUI or
through the command-line interface accessed via the serial console. For convenience, the
management interface comes preconfigured with an IP address of 10.0.0.10, and the GUI is
accessible from a directly-connected host on the 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 subnet.
Preparation
Management of the Linktropy WAN emulator requires a PC running a supported web browser
(Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari). JavaScript must be enabled.
Initial configuration of the management interface requires either:
 a PC running a supported web browser that can be configured and placed on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 network.
 a PC with an RS-232 serial port running terminal emulation software such as
HyperTerminal or PuTTY.

Hardware Installation

Plug in the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the DC power input on the back of the unit. The
Power LED on the front panel will glow green and the system will be available for use within 60
seconds.
For additional hardware installation details, please see the Linktropy Mini
Hardware Guide.
