NETWORK MANAGER TAB
The Network Manager Tab allows configuration to the network settings for MultiRack. Users can access the
Network Manager Tab in the MultiRack’s User Interface on the far right of the screen. Clicking on that tab will bring
up the screen shown in
Figure 26 . The available networking connections from MultiRack are presented on the left
hand side of the screen in the Select Network Device section. This area will populate with the available Ethernet
Ports or connected WiFi and Cellular adapters used to make a Network connection. Here the IP and SSID settings for
these network connections can be configured. Because there may be bandwidth, firewall, and/or security concerns
involved when installing MultiRack on a managed LAN, Comrex
strongly recommends that users consult their IT
manager in environments where these concerns are present.
