Apposite Netropy N91 Quick Start Manual

To operate the Netropy N91 Network Emulator through its browser-based GUI, the dedicated
Ethernet management interface must first be configured with an appropriate IP address and
subnet mask. For convenience, the management interface comes pre-configured with an IP
address of 10.0.0.10, and is accessible from a directly-connected host on the 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
subnet. The IP address and subnet mask of the management interface can be changed either
through the Netropy GUI or through the command-line interface accessed via the serial console.
Preparation
Management of the Netropy Network Emulator through
the GUI requires a PC running a web browser with Flash
version 10 or later installed.
Initial configuration of the management interface requires
either:
 a PC running a supported web browser that can be
configured and placed on the
network.
a PC with an RS-232 serial port running terminal emula-

tion software such as Hyper-Terminal or PuTTY.
