NETWORK MANAGER
Located in the three-line “Hamburger Menu” ( ) in the upper le hand side of the Web User Interface, the
Network Manager allows con fi gura on of the network se ngs for BRIC-Link II. Selec ng Network Manager will
bring up the screen shown in Figure 27 . The available networking connec ons from BRIC-Link II are presented on
the le hand side of the screen in the “Select Network Device” sec on. This area will populate with the available
Ethernet ports or 4G modem adapters used to make a network connec on. Here, the IP and DNS se ngs for these
network connec ons can be con
fi gured. Because there may be bandwidth, fi rewall, and/or security concerns
involved when installing BRIC-Link II on a managed LAN, Comrex strongly recommends that users consult their IT
manager in environments where these concerns are present. Appendix C on page 103 o ff ers a quick reference of
ports/services used by BRIC-Link II.
The primary Ethernet port for BRIC-Link II is con fi gured for DHCP by default. In this con fi gura on, BRIC-Link II will
be assigned an IP address from a pool of available IP addresses from the network router upon boo ng. If BRIC-Link
II is connected to the Internet, it should display connec on informa on for the Ethernet Port, including IP and DNS
server addresses. (If it doesn’t display this informa on, con
fi rm that the unit is connected to the Internet and that
the Ethernet Port is enabled.)
ETHERNET PORT SETTINGS
Select the Built-in Ethernet Port to display the Device Se ngs panel as seen in Figure 28 . This port can
be renamed, as well as enabled and disabled in this panel. The Ac ve Network Loca on sec on will note

con
fi gura ons (described in more detail on page 44 ). By default, the Ac ve Network Loca on sec on will be
populated with the “Default” Loca on. This “Default” Loca on is con fi gured for DHCP and is ini ally enabled on all
