Model 2314/2316 SNMP Alarm Encoder 

 

12 2314/2316-042315 

 

Fial Incorporated

 

Complete Configuration using a Web Browser 
To provision a new 2314/2316 SNMP Alarm Encoder using a Web browser, you must know the IP address 
of the device and be able to ping the unit.  You can connect the encoder directly to a computer with an 

Ethernet Crossover cable (see Cross-Over Ethernet Cable Wiring - opposite end on page 54), or connect 
both your computer and the SNMP Alarm Encoder to a hub or a switch with a standard Ethernet cable.  

The computer should have Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser 6.0 or later, or Netscape 7.1 or later or 
Firefox as a default Web browser.  For Netscape 7.1, verify that Enable JavaScript for Navigator is 

“checked” in the Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Scripts & Plugins/Verify device.  Most Opera and Mozilla 
browser releases will also work.   

If this is a factory new 2314/2316 and you are ONLY connecting the LAN port on your computer and on the 
encoder together, set your computer to an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.253, 

netmask to 255.255.255.0.  Set your gateway address to match the IP address of your computer.  (Do NOT 
use IP address 192.168.1.200, since this is the SNMP Alarm Encoder factory default address).   

For example, set your computer IP address to 192.168.1.10, your netmask to 255.255.255.0, and your 
gateway to 192.168.1.10.  Open your Web browser program.   

If this is the initial configuration of the SNMP Alarm Encoder, enter http://192.168.1.200 into the browser’s 
URL/address bar and press Enter.  The SNMP Alarm Encoder Welcome page should appear, (see Figure 

11).   

If the Model 2314/2316 IP address has already been changed, you will need to know its current IP address 

in order to connect using a Web browser.  Enter the current IP address of the encoder in the browser’s 
URL/address bar.  If you do not know the unit’s current IP address, you may find this out (or change it) 

using the serial Craft port interface.   

Warning: When you change the IP address, gateway and netmask using the Web browser or telnet 

interface, you will probably lose your IP connectivity with the device.  This will happen when you choose 
Save & Reboot.  If the device is local, you may then need to change your computer IP settings to access 

the 2314/2316 SNMP Alarm Encoder's web server.  You normally do not want to change the IP 
address, netmask or gateway if the device is remote from you!
