Establishing a Connection to the SyncServer S6x0
There are four ways to bring the SyncServer S6x0 on line:
1. The SyncServer S6x0 default IPv4 address for port LAN1 is 192.168.1.100, the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the gateway address is 0.0.0.0 (no gateway).
These may be suitable.
2. Use the front panel to input the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
3. Use the front panel to turn on DHCP and review the assigned address.
4. Use the serial port
Communicating Through LAN1 Ethernet Port
The LAN1 Ethernet port must be set to an IP address that is compatible with your
network to allow communication. If the default IPv4 address (indicated above) is not
acceptable, you must first configure Ethernet LAN1 port through the EIA-232 serial
port with CLI commands or with the front panel.
Once the LAN1 port has been configured, it can be used to access the SyncServer
S6x0 web interface. Connect the LAN1 port to your network with a CAT5 Ethernet
cable. Enter the LAN1 port IP address into a web browser. Enter your user name
and password for the SyncServer S6x0 when prompted.
HTTPS
A certificate is required with HTTPS. The SyncServer S6xx uses a self-signed
certificate rather than a certificate generated by a known certificate authority.
Browsers will therefore give warnings when attempting to connect to the
SyncServer S6x0. Users will need to allow the browser to continue. The actual
messages and screens will be different for different browsers. Certificates have an
expiration date. After the built-in certificate expires, a new certificate can be
generated on the Security->https page.
