Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. The FB6000
1.1.1. Where do I start?
The FB6000 is shipped in a factory reset state. This means it has a default configuration that allows the unit
to be attached directly to a computer, or into an existing network, and is accessible via a web browser on a
known IP address for further configuration.
Besides allowing initial web access to the unit, the factory reset configuration provides a starting point for you
to develop a bespoke configuration that meets your requirements.
A printed copy of the QuickStart Guide is included with your FB6000 and covers the basic set up required to
gain access to the web based user interface. If you have already followed the steps in the QuickStart guide, and
are able to access the FB6000 via a web browser, you can begin to work with the factory reset configuration
by referring to Chapter 3.
Initial set up is also covered in this manual, so if you have not already followed the QuickStart Guide, please
start at Chapter 2.
Tip
The FB6000's configuration can be restored to the state it was in when shipped from the factory. The
procedure requires physical access to the FB6000, and can be applied if you have made configuration
changes that have resulted in loss of access to the web user interface, or any other situation where it
is appropriate to start from scratch - for example, commissioning an existing unit for a different role,
or where you've forgotten an administrative user password. It is also possible to temporarily reset the
FB6000 to allow you to recover and edit a broken configuration (though you still need to know the
password you had). You can also go back one step in the config.
The remainder of this chapter provides an overview of the FB6000's capabilities, and covers your product
support options.
