CONNECTING TO A NEXUS SERIES DEVICE
The NEXUS Series device is shipped with a default IP address (
192.168.1.251
) and subnet mask (
255.255.255.0
) on
the primary Ethernet Port. Your laptop’s network card must be configured in a manner where it may access this IP
network setting. Refer to your operating system documentation for details on how to configure your network card.
See Ethernet Settings on page 40 for details on how to reconfigure NEXUS Series device IP Address.
Note : The secondary Ethernet Po rt (marked “Port D”) is configured with a default IP address
(
192.168.1.250
) and subnet mask (
255.255.255.0
), so that if connectivity is lost on the primary
LAN port, you can use the secondary port to gain access to the NEXUS Series controller as described
below and reset it.
Primary and Recovery ports should not be both connected at the same time – unplug the primary
port when connecting your laptop to the recovery port.
To use the recovery port:
• Depending on your Operating System, set your Network Adaptor to the
192.168.1.0/24
IP network. e.g. in Windows, in
Settings
>
Network & Internet
set the
IP address
to
192.168.1.1
and
Subnet Mask
to
255.255.255.0
(i.e. the default value).
• You should now be able to reach
http://192.168.1.250/
in a browser on your PC and
proceed from there. (If you have HTTPS enabled, you can reach the target at
https://192.168.1.250/
instead.)
• Once recovery is complete, the NEXUS Series device must be rebooted.
