The Linktropy Mini2 WAN Emulator is managed through a browser-based GUI over an Ethernet
connection to a dedicated management interface. Prior to operation, this management
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.
Management of the Linktropy Mini

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 emulation software such as
HyperTerminal or PuTTY.
