2.5 ETHERNET Interface Installation and Operation
The 3116-T71 Multi-Band Block Translator is equipped with a 10/100 Base-T compatible Ethernet interface for
control and monitoring of its operating parameters. An HTML script interface allows the user to monitor and
control the converter using a standard web browser. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is also
supported. Contact Cross Technologies for the SNMP MIB file.
2.5.1 Methods of Connection
Directly Connected to a PC:
For control from a local PC, attach the 3116-T71’s Ethernet port to the Ethernet network connector on the
PC using a crossover RJ-45 cable.
LAN Connection
For LAN connections, attach the 3116-T71 Ethernet port to the LAN using a normal RJ-45 cable.
Use any PC on the LAN to connect to the 3116-T71.
2.5.2 Ethernet Configuration
Each 3116-T71 must be configured with an appropriate IP address, Netmask, and Gateway assigned by your
network manager. The 3116-T71 is set at the factory with a static address that is written on a tag attached to the
unit. The device server in the 3116-T71 has a built in http based configuration manager that is used to
configure network settings. To access the configuration manager open a web browser and enter the IP address
of the 3116-T71 in the browser's address field. The window shown in Figure 2-A will appear. As delivered,
there is no password set. Choose your user name and password here or leave those fields blank and click OK to
proceed to the configuration manager webpage.
