Setting the Initial Configuration

Before you can use the CP 3100, you must set the following initial configuration values:
The current date and time (see page 46)
•
A password for accessing RemoteAdmin (see page 47)
•
Network settings (see page 48)
•
Email settings (see page 50)
•
You set these values using RemoteAdmin, the CP 3100's Web-based configuration and management
tool.
Logging into RemoteAdmin
The following procedure describes how to log into RemoteAdmin.
NOTE: RemoteAdmin supports one login at a time. If a second login is attempted, the actions
described under "Logging in While Someone Else is Logged in" on page 56 occur.
1. Start a Web Browser on a computer that is on the same subnet as the CP 3100. In the
Browser's address line, enter the IP address of the CP 3100. If this is the first time you are log-
ging in, enter the default IP address 192.168.0.250. Otherwise, enter the IP address previ-
ously configured for the CP 3100. The Welcome page appears (see Figure 21 on page 45).
NOTE: A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/
IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For
example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 192.168.0. would be part of the same
subnet.
