To Use the Default IP Address to Access the Web Manager
1. On a computer that resides on the same subnet with the OnBoard, change the network portion of the IP
address of that computer to 192.168.160.
2. If you are using a network smaller than /24, change the subnet mask on your computer to match.
3. Bring up a browser on the computer whose address you changed, enter the OnBoard's default IP
address (http://192.168.160.10) to bring up the Web Manager, and log in.
4. To allow subsequent use of the Web Manager from any computer, go to the Wizard: "Step 1: Network
Settings" to change the IP address to a fixed public IP address and to configure the other basic network
parameters.
5. Restore the computer's IP address to its previous IP address.
6. If you changed the subnet mask, restore your computer's subnet mask.
7. Enter the IP address in a browser to bring up the Web Manager to finish configuration.
Caution! Make sure that the root user logs into the OnBoard console and changes the root password
from "cyclades."
