To operate Netropy Network Emulators through their 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
emulation software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
IP Address Configuration via the Netropy GUI
Configure a PC running a supported web browser
with the IP address 10.0.0.2 or other address on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
subnet.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the PC and the
MGMT port on the front of the Netropy.
Open the browser on the PC and enter
in the address bar.
Review the License Agreement. The Netropy GUI will be
displayed once the License Agreement is accepted.

supplied with each unit). The system will be available
for use within 1-4 minutes.

After
the
management
configured, use the Ethernet cable to connect the
