Lynx DSA User's Manual - 9240227J
When a Lynx is received from the factory, it has been pre-configured to factory-
default settings, which include:
•
Ethernet interface (default, preferred): ……………………
10.0.0.3
•
DHCP (dynamic address assignment): ……………………disabled
•
USB:…………………………………………………
10.0.0.2
•
RS-232 Serial / Modem: ……………………………
10.0.0.1
•
The default subnet mask value for each of the above is
255.255.255.0.
•
Login is disabled.
•
The default User name is
administrator
, and its default password is
password
.
If you have a single Lynx connected to a dedicated network whose addresses are
managed by you, then the factory default settings could suffice. More often than not,
it is typically the case that the Lynx will be connected to a network with other devices
and the address of each may be dynamically assigned by network’s DHCP server, or
must be manually assigned to eliminate address contentions.
Each site’s network requirements are unique. To connect your Lynx to your network
typically requires changing the Lynx’s settings to match you network’s requirements.
In order to make such changes, you will need to first connect to the Lynx using
Ethernet (preferred), USB, or RS-232. For performance reasons and ease of
connectivity, the preferred connection method is Ethernet. Please refer to
Lynx
Access – Default Settings
on page 65 for additional information on each connection
method using factory settings, with guidance on how to setup the communication
adapter on the computer side.
If needed, review the Setup section starting in the chapter
System Setup
on page 25
and the browser-based network user interface in the chapter
Web-Based Operation
starting on page 71. The
Communications Setup Appendix
starting on page 150
includes a Quick Setup summary of communication connections, helpful to Network
Administrators.
