Management of the Linktropy Mini WAN Emulator requires
a PC running a supported web browser (IE, Firefox,
Chrome or Safari). JavaScript must be enabled.
Initial configuration of the management interface
requires either:
a PC running a supported web browser that can be
configured and placed on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
network.
a PC with an RS-232 serial port running terminal em-
ulation software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
Configure a PC running a supported web browser
with the IP address 10.0.0.2 or other address on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
subnet.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the PC and the
MGMT port on the front of the Linktropy Mini.
Open the browser on the PC and enter
http://10.0.0.10
in the address bar.
Review the License Agreement. The Linktropy Mini
GUI will be displayed once the License Agreement is
accepted.
The Linktropy Mini GUI will open to the Device Settings
tab. If desired, modify the IP address, netmask, and default
gateway for the management interface. Click the
Apply
Changes
button when done.
After the management interface has been
configured, use the Ethernet cable to connect the
MGMT port of the Linktropy Mini to the management
network.
IP Address Configuration via the Netropy GUI
Linktropy Mini apliances are designed for use on a
desktop.
Plug in the supplied power adapter to the DC power
input on the unit. The Power LED on the front panel
will glow green. The system will be available for use
within 60 seconds.
The Linktropy Mini WAN Emulators are managed through a browser-based GUI over an
Ethernet connection to a dedicated management interface. Prior to operation, this man-
agement interface must be configured with appropriate network settings, either through
the Linktropy GUI or through a command-line interface accessed via the serial console. For
convenience, the management interface comes preconfigured with an IP address of
10.0.0.10, and the GUI is accessible from a directly-connected host on the
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 subnet.
