Web Configuration Using Static Ip; Terminal Configuration Using A Serial Cable - StarTech.com CABCONS1716I User Manual

Instruction Manual
Unlike the DHCP access method described above, some networks rely
on static IP addresses wherein every device has a pre-configured IP ad-
dress that does not change.
To access the Web configuration for this product, you will need to con-
figure the workstation you are using to the same subnet (255.255.255.0)
and also assign it a valid IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.100). For details on
how to change the IP address of your computer (if necessary), consult
your documentation or System Administrator for assistance.
NOTE: It is advisable to verify whether another device on your network
is using the same IP address as the CABCONS1716I before connecting
it to the network, to avoid a conflict. Should an IP address conflict occur
with another device on the network, power off the conflicting device or
assign it another IP address before continuing the installation.
NOTE: Not all IP addresses are valid for a given subnet. If you are re-
quired to change your subnet (and therefore IP address) to configure the
unit, be sure the IP address you choose is within the allowable range for
the 255.255.255.0 subnet.
Once your computer is configured to the same subnet as the CAB-
CONS1716I, you can use the IP address 192.168.1.123 to access the
Web configuration system.
Configuring the CABCONS1716I using a serial cable is the best choice
if you need to preconfigure the unit before attaching it to a network (i.e.
when sending to a branch office, customer site, etc.).
In general, the Web configuration is preferable because of its intuitive
interface and the fact that you do not have to be within close physical
proximity to perform the configuration. However, if you wish to use the
serial cable method to configure the CABCONS1716I, you can use any
typical communication software package (UNIX: tip, cu, kermit, minicom;
Windows: HyperTerminal, kermit).
