Web Interface
The network extender's integral web management lets you configure and monitor the
network extender using a standard web browser.
To manage a Provider unit using web management, connect your PC to any Ethernet
port of the Provider unit.
By default, the Subscriber unit can be managed by the web management through its
Ethernet ports. If you wish to manage the subscriber unit via a DS3 ports, and the unit
still has the default IP address, you must first create a static ARP in your PC.
Establishing an ARP Table Entry for a Subscriber Unit
The subscriber unit's DS3 ports will not respond to an ARP request containing the
unit's default IP address. In order to manage the subscriber unit using web
management you must create a static ARP table entry on your PC. To build a static
ARP table entry:
Procedure
Note – This procedure is not necessary if you are connecting directly to the
Ethernet ports on either the provider or subscriber units.
1. Get the MAC address from the bottom label of the subscriber unit.
2. Open a command prompt. (Click on Start, and then Run. In the Open: window
type CMD and press Enter.) At the command line, type:
arp -s 192.168.254.251 xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
where the IP address is the default address of the subscriber unit and the MAC
address is the number on the bottom label. For example: if the MAC address on
the bottom label is 00-50-ca-01-28-86, type:
arp –s 192.168.254.251 00-50-ca-01-28-86
Once the ARP table entry is configured, you can ping and manage the unit using web
management.
If you change the IP address to anything other than the default, the subscriber unit
responds to ARP requests and does not require a static ARP table entry to manage it
using web management.
For security purposes you may want to turn off inband management of the unit to
prevent a local PC from managing the unit from the Ethernet ports.
