Configuring Via the LCD Panel
All NetEnforcer models provide an LCD panel from which you can configure basic
NetEnforcer parameters without connecting a terminal. This enables quick and easy
setting of basic parameters such as the IP address of NetEnforcer and NIC settings.
When not being used to configure the NetEnforcer, the display area in the LCD panel
displays its default view, which is the current inbound and outbound bandwidth usage.
The units are in Kbps or Mbps with one digit after the point and the display is refreshed
every five seconds.
NOTE
When you are configuring NetEnforcer and there is no activity for more
than 30 seconds, the display area returns to the default view and any
modifications to parameters that were not saved are lost.
The Main Menu
The LCD panel provides one main menu from where you can perform the following
operations:
•
Configure NIC settings, page 3-12.
•
Set the NetEnforcer IP address, page 3-13.
•
Activate Bypass, page 3-15.
•
Reboot, shutdown or exit NetEnforcer, page 3-15.
Getting Started on NetEnforcer
In order to start working with NetEnforcer, press the
Power
button to turn on
NetEnforcer. Once the system has completed loading, the display area of the LCD
indicates its default view, the current bandwidth consumption of NetEnforcer. For
example:
Inbound: XX.XM
Outbound: YYY.YM
You can now proceed to configure NetEnforcer, as required.
