The LANconfig list window will now display your device and its associated IP
address. You can also access the device using a web browser. WEBconfig
provides access to all of the wizards and the device's internal menu system
for the advanced configuration of the router.
A beta version of xLANconfig for Linux can be found on the ELSA LANCOM
Business CD. Alternatively, the current version can be downloaded from the
drivers section of the ELSA website.
4.6.2 Browser-based basic configuration with ELSA
WEBconfig
As you know, ELSA WEBconfig lets you configure your ELSA LANCOM
Business using any web browser. You are thus not dependent on the
Windows operating system as you are with ELSA LANconfig .
There's only precondition for accessing the router: you must know its IP
address.
What is the IP address of the router?
An unconfigured ELSA LANCOM Business 6000 router will appear in your
network under the IP address x.x.x.254. In the case of Class A networks with
a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and network address of 10.1.x.x, the address
will be 10.1.0.254. To determine the effective IP address of your router, you
therefore need to know your network number and netmask.
Communication with the device can then be realized within the network using
a web browser and Telnet via this IP address.
Starting the wizards in WEBconfig
Start your web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator) and enter the
following Internet address:
http://<IP address of LANCOM>
