4. Accessing the management application
LRXI Industrial Fiber Extender units generally configure themselves automatically, collecting EDID information from the attached
monitor and passing it to the host computer. In most cases the units will begin working together correctly as soon as they are
connected. Where configuration changes are required (or remote monitoring is required), the management application provides
an intuitive user interface.
4.1 To access the management application
1 Use a computer that is directly or indirectly (i.e. via a network switch) connected to the LRXI local unit. If you need to make
a temporary connection, see below.
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the local unit. By default, the IP address is set to
192.168.1.22
. If required, you can change the default IP address or alternatively, choose automated address selection by
DHCP server. See the Configure page.
3 If requested, enter the
registered password to log
on.
Note: The default user and
password are ‘admin’ and
‘password’ respectively.

4.2 To temporarily connect a computer to the network port
1 If you need to make a temporary connection for configuration purposes, use a standard patch
cable (cross-over or straight connections are both supported) to link the Ethernet 10/100
network port (
) on the rear panel of the LRXI local unit to your computer’s network port.
