Accessing SEC 3500 on a Network Using a PC
This document will outline a step-by-step process on how to bring a single SEC 3500 (or
multiple) onto a network and access the information on a PC. In order for this to happen, the
SEC 3500 needs to be connected to the same network as the PC being used to monitor the
system. The default gateway address of the PC being used must also be known.
Connecting the SEC 3500 to the Network
1) Find Default Gateway IP address for the computer being used to view the 3500s. This
can be done by contacting the network administrator and asking for the default gateway
address.
2) Make sure there is an Ethernet cable available that has access to the network.
3) Plug in an Ethernet cable into the 3500. See figure 1 for correct placement. Caution: If
the Ethernet cord is too long, the computer may not be able to access the 3500 on the
network or it may have a very slow connection. Make sure the cord is only as long as it
needs to be.
4) Now access is needed to get into the supervisor menu.
5) Login to Supervisor Menu for access to the configuration menu.
- In order to do this follow the steps in section 8 of the "3500 OI Supervisor Manual" and
make sure the date is September, 2007. This guarantees the latest version. The steps
