If you already know the basics of connecting power, connecting a network
cable, and using a web-browser, and you only need some help establishing
communication. Here is a brief outline of what you must do to start
communicating with this device right away and where to go for help.
This is an Ethernet device with built-in web capability. This allows you to use
your web-browser to set it up and configure it. All Ethernet devices have a
unique IP address that you are required to know in order to use your web-
browser to actually communicate with it.
What if you do not already know the IP address of the unit?
All Acromag Ethernet devices include an alternate default mode of operation
with a fixed IP address set to
128.1.1.100
. Additionally, the user-
programmable IP address that is used outside of default mode is also initially
set to 128.1.1.100 from the factory. If this unit is factory fresh, you can talk
to it at this address in either mode.
If your unit is not factory fresh and may have another IP address set, then…
You need to place the unit in its Default Mode, which allows you to address it
at IP address 128.1.1.100 (
.
Place this unit into Default Mode by depressing the front-panel toggle switch
to the position marked “DFT” (left) for about 4 seconds, just until the yellow
ST LED starts blinking slowly to indicate the unit is in the Default Mode.
Try browsing the unit with your web browser address at
If your unit is in default mode, you should be presented with the home page,
similar to that shown at right.
If you are using IP address 128.1.1.100, and you still can’t talk to the unit…
You cannot talk to this device at IP address 128.1.1.100 if the Network
Interface Card (NIC) you are using to connect to this device is set to an IP
address outside of the address domain established by the default address.
That is, you must set the IP address of your network interface to an address
like 128.1.1.x, where x is an integer from 1 to 254, except 100 (our default
address). This procedure is covered in document 8500-815 shipped with
your unit. It is also detailed in Application Note 8500-734, which you can
obtain from the CDROM shipped with your unit, or optionally via download
from our web site at
You managed to browse to the unit’s Home Page, but now you need to get
to the Network Configuration Page to set your own IP address…
In order to access any of the other web configuration pages, like the Network
Configuration Page, you will need to first enter a Username =
User
, and
Password =
password00
to gain access (these are the default username
and password settings for all 9xxEN models and these entries are case-
sensitive). The password query window is shown at right.
