Apposite Linktropy 5510 Quick Start Manual

The Linktropy 5510 WAN Emulator is managed through a browser-based GUI over an Ethernet connection to
a dedicated management interface. Prior to operation, this management interface must be configured with
appropriate network settings, either through the Linktropy GUI or through a command-line interface accessed
via the serial console. For convenience, the management interface comes preconfigured with an IP address of
10.0.0.10, and the GUI is accessible from a directly-connected host on the 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 subnet.

PREPARATION


Management of the Linktropy WAN Emulator requires a PC running a supported web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or
Safari). JavaScript must be enabled.
Initial configuration of the management interface requires either:
a PC running a supported web browser that can be configured and placed on the 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 network.

a PC with an RS-232 serial port running terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
