Installing the NetEqualizer
The NetEqualizer operates as a Transparent Bridge on your network. There is typically no need to change anything in
your network configuration to install the appliance. Simply install the NetEqualizer between your Firewall/Router and
Network Switch, or anywhere on your network that you can "see" the individual IP addresses and bandwidth that you
want shaped (as shown in diagram below). Once installed, you will use the Factory Default Settings to access it via a
web Graphical User Interface.
To access the NetEqualizer via the Web GUI IP
, do one of the following:
1)
(Easiest way) Plug a laptop/PC into your Switch, set to the 192.168.1.x range (x not 143) to access the
NetEqualizer.
Once you follow Step #1 below, plugging the NetEqualizer into the Switch and cabling it into
your network, you should be able to get to the NetEqualizer Web GUI IP. Proceed with QS Guide steps in
the order written.
2) Alternatively, plug another machine (laptop/PC) into the NetEqualizer WAN port via a cross-over cable, and
set the address of the laptop/PC within the 192.168.1.x range (x not 143). Now login (Step #2) and then
follow Step #2A to change the Web GUI IP to access the NetEqualizer. Then proceed with Step #1 below.
Notes:
Before you rack your NetEqualizer, we recommend that you
record the Serial #
______________________.
You will need your Serial # to request your Final Key. It is located on a sticker on the left-hand side of the unit.
We also recommend that you push in on the CompactFlash Card in the back of the unit to be sure it is fully seated.
Note:
The IP address for the NetEqualizer is used to access the web GUI (for management purposes only). All factory default
settings can be changed from the web GUI, the command line, or the API.
