AdderLink Infinity browser-based configuration utility
The browser-based configuration utility within all TX and RX units requires a
network connection between the ALIF unit and a computer on the same network.
The configuration utility allows you to perform many important functions. Please see
Appendix A
for TX unit details and
Appendix B
for RX unit details.
It is possible to gain access to the internal configuration utility via any of the ports
located on the front panel of each ALIF dual unit. For temporary connections on ALIF
dual units, you are recommended to use the Management port. There is no Management
port on ALIF 1002 models, so use the System port instead.
To connect a computer to access the configuration utility
1 Connect a CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 link cable to either the Management (ALIF dual only) or
System port socket on the 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.
To access the browser-based configuration utility
1 Temporarily connect the ALIF unit and your computer, as discussed left.
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the ALIF port that
you are using.
The default settings are as follows:
TX units
RX units
Management port
192.168.1.42 192.168.1.42
System port
169.254.1.33 169.254.1.32
Teaming port
169.254.1.43 169.254.1.42
Note: Where the port addresses of a unit have been changed and are not known, providing it
is appropriate to do so, perform a
manual factory reset
to restore the default addresses.
The opening page of the ALIF configuration utility should be displayed:
You can find further information about the configuration pages for the TX and RX
units within separate appendices later in this guide:
•
Appendix A - Transmitter (TX) unit configuration pages
•
Appendix B - Reciever (RX) unit configuration pages
Use the menu options to choose
