The NetCom
+
Devices are often used without the installation of a driver software. Customer
applications contact the NetCom
+
directly, using network functions. These setups require inde-
pendent configuration of the NetCom
+
Device and the serial ports. There are four ways to do
this configuration. The NetCom
+
offers a Web browser interface, configuration via serial port, via
Telnet and also via SNMP. This SNMP option is not covered in this manual, please see separate
documentation. The NetCom Manager program for Windows is already explained above.
The access to the NetCom
+
via web interface or Telnet are done via a TCP/IP connection between
the computer and the NetCom
+
. So users need the IP Address of the NetCom
+
. The most easy
way to retrieve this information is the NetCom Manager program (section
5
). Start it, and open
the Info Panel (figure
51
) of the NetCom
+
Server you want to configure. This panel displays the
current IP Address of the NetCom
+
. Do not change the parameters, just write down the value.
The default configuration of a NetCom
+
is for use of a DHCP server. When such is not available,
the IP Address defaults to 192.168.254.254. When the IP Address of the NetCom
+
is not in final
state, leave the NetCom Manager open while doing the first configuration of the NetCom
+
Server.
But in general the software may be closed as soon as the IP Address is known.
6.1 Accessing the Configurations
Here the manual shortly explains the different methods to get access on the parameters of a
NetCom
+
. These parameters are the same, independent from the method for configuration. So the
options are described later.
The configuration is accessible via web browser, a Telnet software with VT100/VT52 emulation,
or via a Terminal emulation connected to the first serial port of the NetCom
+
.
6.1.1 Web Browser Configuration
Open your favorite web browser, and enter the IP Address as the target location. To avoid any
confusion you should precede it with http://, so your browser has definite target information. Most
browser programs do not need that. Your browser must not suppress images.
If the NetCom
+
is password protected, you must enter this now. Leave the user name empty, just
type the password.
