Management of the Linktropy WAN Emulator requires a
PC running a supported web browser (Internet Explorer,
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.
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 Netropy.
Open the browser on the PC and enter
http://10.0.0.10
in the address bar.
Review the License Agreement. The Linktropy GUI will
be displayed once the License Agreement is accepted.
Click on the Administration link at the top of the
page and select the Network Settings tab. Set the IP
address, subnet mask, and optional default gateway
for the management interface, then click the
Apply
Changes
button.
After the management interface has been
configured, use the Ethernet cable to connect the
MGMT port of the Linktropy to the management
network.
IP Address Configuration via the Netropy GUI
Linktropy is designed for installation in a standard 19”
rack. See the Linktropy Hardware Guide for your specfic
model for rack-mount installation instructions.
Plug in a standard power cord (a U.S. power cord is
supplied with the unit) into the socket on the back of the
Linktropy and set the power switch to the ON (1) position.
When powered on, the Power LED on the front panel glows
green. The system will be available for use within 90
seconds.
Linktropy WAN Emulators are 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.
