AL-1020U Chassis Configuration
The AL-1020U chassis can be configured through a web-interface. The web-interface can be
used to configure settings such as:
•
Network settings (IP-address, Subnet, Gateway, DNS)
•
Device name
Since the chassis is based on the National Instruments SLSC-12001 Chassis, the interface is
reached by entering its IP-address (default: 192.168.1.149) into a Microsoft Silverlight compliant
web-browser. Please note that this currently excludes third party browsers such as Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari etc.
Recommended browser is Internet Explorer.
