WEBconfig
There are two ways of starting the configuration by browser:
→ If you know the device's IP address, simply enter this into the address
line of the browser. The factory settings for accessing the device are:
• Before LCOS SX 4.00: User name: admin, password: admin
• As from LCOS SX 4.00: User name: admin, password: <empty>
→ If you do not have the device's IP address, LANconfig can be used to
search for it. LANconfig automatically searches for all available devices
in your network. Any available LANCOM routers or access points will be
displayed in the list, including LANCOM switches. Double-click on this
entry to start the browser automatically with the correct IP address.
What is the IP address of my LANCOM switch?
The current IP address of the LANCOM switch after being switched on
depends on the network constellation.
→ a Networks with DHCP server – In its factory settings, the LANCOM
switch is set for auto DHCP mode, meaning that it searches for a DHCP
server to assign it an IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. The
assigned IP address can only be determined by using the appropriate
tools (e. g. LANconfig) or via DHCP server. If the DHCP server is a
LANCOM device, the IP address of the LANCOM switch can be read
out from the DHCP table. If this is the case, the LANCOM switch can be
accessed from any network computer that receives its IP address from
the same DHCP server.
→ Network without a DHCP server – If no DHCP server is present in the
network, the LANCOM switch adopts the address 172.23.56.250. If
this is the case the LANCOM switch can be accessed from any network
computer with its IP address set to the address range 172.23.56.x.
