92XX-SA and BBG-1090-Series Quick Start

The –SA and BBG-1090-Series standalone devices (hereinafter referred to as “BBG-1090-
Series”) are managed through the Dashboard application. Dashboard can control the BBG-1090-
Series devices as well as openGear frames (where BBG-1090-Series devices appear as a frame
connection).  The user interface for the BBG-1090-Series devices is essentially the same as the
corresponding openGear cards.

The steps are as follows:

1.

 

The first step is to install the Dashboard software.  Dashboard is available for Windows,
Linux

1

, and Mac OSX.

2.

 

By default, the BBG-1090-Series devices are configured with a factory IP address of
192.168.1.30 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  In order to perform the initial
configuration, you will need to configure the PC/Mac running Dashboard for an IP
address in the same network.  We suggest you use 192.168.1.2.  Once you gain access to
the BBG-1090-Series device, you can reconfigure its IP address to whatever value you
require, or configure it to run DHCP.

3.

 

Connect the PC/Mac running Dashboard and the BBG-1090-Series device to the same
network.  For simplicity, even running an Ethernet cable between the two devices will
work.  The BBG-1090-Series device has auto-crossover capabilities, so any Ethernet
cable will work.  Connect the cable to a control ports in the BBG-1090-Series device, as
illustrated below:
