TX/RX Management port
The Management port on each ALIF dual unit provides a consistent method to gain
access to the internal configuration utility of each ALIF dual. Although the configuration
utility is accessible via the System (Gigabit Ethernet) port and also the Teaming port;
if the ALIF dual units are being used in a point-to-point arrangement, then it would
be necessary to temporarily reconnect each unit to a network in order to make
configuration changes. The Management port allows the admin user to simply connect
a computer directly to each ALIF dual unit and access the configuration utility using a
consistent IP address - thus negating the need to know the main port addresses of each
ALIF dual unit in advance.
To connect a computer to access the configuration utility
1 Connect a CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 link cable to the Management port socket located on the
far left side of the ALIF dual front panel. The port automatically configures itself, so no
cross-over cable is required (but is supported if you do use one).
2 Connect the other end of the link cable directly to the network port of your
computer.
3 Use a web browser to gain access to the internal configuration utility. The standard IP
address of the Management port is 192.168.1.42
Note: This standard IP address can be changed within the configuration utility
.
