Configuration via the NetBox Web Manager

The NetBox Web Manager can always be reached via the Ethernet interface. After the successful setup the
Web Manager can also be accessed via the mobile interface. Any web browser supporting JavaScript may
be used. By default the IP address of the Ethernet interface is 192.168.1.1, the web server runs on port 80.
The minimum configuration steps usually include:
1.
defining the admin password
2.
entering the PIN code for the SIM card
3.
configuring the Access Point Name (APN)
4.
start the mobile connection
Step Description
Please connect the Ethernet interfaces of your computer and the NetBox.

2.
If not yet enabled, please enable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) so that
your computer can lease an IP address from NetBox. Wait a moment until your PC has re-
ceived the parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server).
How to do using Windows XP:
Start > Connect To > Show all connections > Local Area Connection > Right Click > Properties >
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties > Obtain an IP address automatically.
Alternative:
Instead of using the DHCP, configure a static IP address on your PC (e.g. 192.168.1.10) so that it
is operating in the same subnet as the NetBox.
The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1 The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Start a Web Browser on your PC.
3.
Type the NetBox IP address in the address bar: http://192.168.1.1
4.
Follow the instructions of the Web Manager to configure the device.
