ETHERNET ACCESS:
Local or remote communication with the unit is only possible through a GUI-based menu via any standard web browser.
Before you can communicate with the unit, you must configure your computer's IP address to be in the same subnet as the
units default IP address. To do so, follow these steps:
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into
Port 1
on the NeXgen Gateway Master Controller front-panel interface. Plug
the other end of the Ethernet cable to your computer.
The factory default IP address of the NeXgen Master Controller management port is
172.16.70.1
. To be able to
communicate with the NeXgen Master Controller management port, you must first change your computer's IP address.
