USING THE DEVICE MANAGER PROGRAM
iV.
Firmware updates for the BRIC-Link should be handled using Comrex Device Manager, a Windows- and MAC
OS-executable program that can be downloaded from the Comrex website. Device Manager can also be used for
license installation and IP configuration.
Please note: In order to configure a BRIC-Link unit for the first time (without knowing the unit's IP address), Device
Manager must be run on a computer located on the same network (e.g. physical LAN connection) as the unit itself.
If this is not possible, an Ethernet crossover connection between the BRIC-Link and a computer should be used for
configuration.
Figure 6 deVice manager
As shown in Figure 6, running the Device Manager and clicking the "Scan" button will produce a list of all Comrex
devices found on the LAN. If the default password has changed, Device Manager will prompt for the password to
BRIC-Link after the scan.
Figure 6 shows the four tabs that appear on the right-hand pane after Device Manager has logged in. The fourth
tab is labelled Web Configuration. This will open a simplified setup interface on the BRIC-Link called Toolbox. The
Toolbox interface allows for configuration of several options including the Ethernet port. Log in to Toolbox with a
username (any) and password (default = comrex) to enter the Toolbox.
Once logged into Toolbox, choose the Network/Admin/CrossLock option and then choose Set up Ethernet. Choose
the Ethernet port that appears in the list, which will look like Figure 7.
