Configuration Using the Web Interface
The RocketLinx ES7506 provides both in-band and out-band configuration methods:
•
Out-band management means that you configure the RocketLinx ES7506 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the RocketLinx ES7506 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You can
also use out-band management, if you lose the network connection to the RocketLinx ES7506.
•
In-band management means that you connect remotely using the RocketLinx ES7506 IP address through the network. You
can remotely connect with the RocketLinx ES7506 embedded Java applet web interface or a Telnet console and the CLI.
If you are planning on using in-band management, you need to program the RocketLinx ES7506 IP address to meet your
network requirements. The easiest way to configure the IP address is using a Windows system and NetVision, which is
