2 Using the Web interface
To access the built-in web pages using a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer), there are two
options.
2.1 Access Via a LAN Port
To access the unit through a LAN port you should assign your PC an IP address on the 192.168.0.0/
24 network (for example use an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0).
Next, either connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the LAN ports on your router and PC, or
ensure that both devices are connected to an Ethernet hub/switch on the same network. You should
then be able to access the unit’s web, Telnet and FTP services on the IP address 192.168.0.99.
Note:
All models are auto-sensing for 10/100 operation. However, only the more recent models are
also
auto MDI/MDI-X, i.e. will automatically work with either a straight-through or cross-over cable.
