Configuring Network Settings Using a Web Browser

The NETRS232 converter contains an embedded web server that allows you to
configure your device's network settings through your web browser. To configure an
NETRS232's network settings using a web browser, open your web browser and enter
the device's IP address in the browser's address bar.
Note: In order to use the embedded web server, you must have assigned your NETRS232
device a specific static IP address, your IP address can not be assigned by your DHCP
server. You also can not change DHCP settings from the embedded web server.
Once on the configuration screen, log into the unit with the default password "admin".
Choose the setting you wish to change and enter the new network settings. Once the
new values and entered and accepted, the device will reboot in order to implement
the new network settings.
Changes made using the web browser will be updated to the device, but not to the
local PC.
Note: Changing the network settings of an NETRS232 device may make that device
unavailable to other stations that have activated a connection to that device using
older network settings.
