Chapter 2 Installation Hardware Installation In the rear panel, there is a reset button. It is used to load the factory default settings. Hold down the button until the LED’s start blinking simultaneously (about 5 seconds). After the device has booted successfully, the factory default settings are retrieved.
The default IP address of the CT-5071E (LAN port) is 192.168.1.1. To configure the CT-5071E for the first time, the configuration PC must have a static IP address within the 192.168.1.x subnet. Follow the steps below to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x.
3.2 Login Procedure Perform the following steps to bring up the Web user interface and configure the CT- 5071E. To log on to the system from the Web browser, follow the steps below: STEP 1: Start your Internet browser. Type the IP address for the router in the Web address field.
3.2.1 Default Settings During power on initialization, the CT-5071E initializes all configuration attributes to default values. It will then read the configuration profile from the Permanent Storage section on the flash memory. The default attributes are overridden when identical attributes with different values are configured. The configuration profile in Permanent Storage can be created via the Web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management protocols.
