Chapter 4 - Software Configuration

Configuring the TC3720's

Software Configurations are done through the Management port (RJ-45 connector on the rear panel of the
switches).
Note: Software configurations will overwrite the current hardware settings. If changed, the hardware
settings will not reflect the current software settings.
In order to configure the TC3720's that is, set to default, the user needs to use a PC with a web browser
installed. Furthermore, the PC's IP address must be set within the range of 192.168.254.1 to 192.168.254.99,
and with a Network Mask of 255.255.255.0. We recommend that you set your PC within these ranges to
avoid a potential conflict with the IP configuration of the TC3720's. If your PC does not have a compatible
IP Address and Network Mask, or you are not sure about the settings, refer to the "PC IP Configuration"
section on page 30 for more detail. You can also change the IP address of the TC3720 by matching it up with
that of your PC, refer to Console Port Settings on page 26.
To configure the TC3720, simply enter the default IP address of the TC3720 in the Web browser's address
box. For example, if the unit is set to Master by hardware settings, SHR ID=0, the default IP address should
be 192.168.254.100.
If, for example, the unit is set to be a Slave with SHR ID=4 (with rear panel DIP switch #3 to the down
position), then the default IP address should be 192.168.254.(100+4).
(Attention: Contact your network administrator if you are unsure about the settings. Improper settings may
result in disruption of the existing network.)
Once you enter the IP address and click enter, you will see a verification window, where you will be prompted
to enter a username and password:
Enter user under User Name and enter password under Password and click "OK."
You will then see a window as in figure 5.
Note: The username and password can be returned to the default username and password by using the reset
button (refer to rear panel diagram on figure 2). All settings will be returned to the current hardware settings.
If you would like to use the default IP addresses, see page 11 to do the configurations using the SHR ID
settings.
