2. Connecting the Max 8 or Max 8 Plus to a
LAN
Whether your LAN uses DHCP or static addresses, you
can set the Max 8 or Max 8 Plus LAN configuration in
either of two ways:
1. Via a touch-tone keypad (to use this method for
the Max 8 Plus, there must be an FXS card
installed), or
2. Through the unit's console (serial) port
This section will explain how to set the LAN configuration
using either method.
2.1 Connecting the Max 8 and 8 Plus to a
DHCP LAN
Section 2.1 explains how to connect your Web
browser to the Max 8 or Max 8 Plus if your LAN uses
DHCP addressing. If your LAN uses static IP
addresses, skip to Section 2.2, Connecting to a
LAN with Static IP Addresses, below.
The Max 8 or Max 8 Plus default configuration is for
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Therefore, if your LAN is using DHCP, the Max 8 or
8 Plus IP address parameters were configured
automatically when you connected it to the LAN. In
this case, you only need to know the IP address that
was assigned to the unit by the LAN before you can
browse the Max Web Manager, Max's Web-based
configuration system. If your LAN is using DHCP,
configuring the Max 8 or 8 Plus will entail the
following steps:
1. Obtain the Max 8 or 8 Plus current IP address.
2. Log in to the Max Web Manager.
3. Set the required configuration parameters in
the Max Web Manager.
