3.3 Ethernet connections
The Atlas has two physical network interfaces named Office and Factory. The networks are not connected with
each other one-on-one. The scanning, measuring and reporting of the network does not occur on the Office
side, only on the Factory side.
The Atlas may be connected anywhere in the Factory network. A mirror port is not required. In fact, a mirror
port is not recommended for the Atlas, as the Topology will not be accurate with a mirror port.
Please note: the web interface can be reached on the Office and the Factory network IP range. So it does not
matter where you are connected, as long as you have set the correct IP range and netmask settings of your
laptop/client network card. You will only be able to scan and see the devices connected to the Factory
network, not the Office network.
Pointers about the IP-address configuration:
In case your office and factory share the same (sub)network you should NOT connect and configure the Office
port. Just make sure that the default Office IP-address doesn’t exists on your network and uses a non-existing
subnet. In case your company network does use the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, please change the IP-address to be
part of a non-existing network, for example 192.168.100.10/24.
3.4 Client IP settings
Your laptop or desktop computer must be
set to the same IP address range as the
Atlas to be able to reach the web
interface. If you are using Windows and
want to use the default IP address of the
office side of Atlas, go to the ‘Network
Adapter Settings’ and enter the details as
shown in . For more advanced settings
contact your system administrator.
