10/100 Base-T Ethernet Port

The 10/100Base-T Ethernet is designed for remote access and system management but can be set-up
to provide a Craft interface port. When accessing the port with a standard browser either remotely or
as a Craft port all Status, Control/Operation, Configuration, and other items described previously are
available through respective web pages. In addition to providing a top level Home view of the system
depicted below, additional information or configuration is available that is not available through the
front panel. Unlike the front panel interface which is limited structurally, the Web pages are more
dynamic and will be enhanced over time. Consult factory for latest upgrades.

The access type and the Dynamic IP addressing mode are set in this section. The
Dynamic IP address mode sets the IP address operation mode of the Ethernet port
on the QS841A. This port has been set to act in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Server mode in the NX400 in order to provide the Craft port located at the
front of the system. The QS841A_NX serves up 192.168.2.1 which should be used as
the destination address on the Craft. This configuration should not be changed in
the NX400. The Static and Client modes of operation allow the QS841A's port to be
configured to operate plugged into the network. Note: once this parameter is
changed, the controller must be re-booted by removing power from the unit by
removing and re-inserting the unit into the shelf.
In addition, there is the ability to Enable or disable Write access for someone who
is attached to the Craft port. The factory default setting is Enabled.
