Step #2: Configuring the NetEqualizer
Once the NetEqualizer is powered on and plugged in to your network, you need to access the web GUI to configure
it. The web GUI is accessible out-of-the-box via the factory default IP address:
http://192.168.1.143
. If you have set
up the Management Port as described in Step #1, you should now be able to access the web GUI.
First, login to the NetEqualizer:
Use the factory default IP address:
http://192.168.1.143
.
Then login using the factory default
username and password:
Username = "
xxx
" and
Password = "
xxx
"
.
You should now be logged in and
see the NetEqualizer Dashboard, as
shown at right. Our new Dashboard
provides an intuitive visual display
of the status on critical data and
settings within NetEqualizer. The
Dashboard contains on/off statuses
for Equalizing, Packet Capture,
Quotas, and Caching, so that you
can quickly tell if your key functions
are running. It also contains
statistics about traffic running through your NetEqualizer. Learn more about the Dashboard in our full
User Guide
.
Your next steps to set-up the NetEqualizer will be to
configure your IP settings, set your passwords, install
your license key, and set the date/time and time zone
for your NetEqualizer. All these functions are found
under the Manage NetEqualizer menu command.
To get started configuring your NetEqualizer,
Click on ->
Setup and Configuration
->
Manage
NetEqualizer
.
The screen at right should come up. Note that the
functions are all available by clicking on buttons, which
bring up pop-up configuration windows. This paradigm
is repeated throughout the GUI.
Note:
In this guide, clicking on a button is shown
in brackets as follows:
Click on ->
[

]
.
Note:
If you are on a VLAN, you will need to set-up an untagged Management Port for administration. If you do not have an open
untagged IP address to use for management, then you will use the Management Port (eth2, labeled with the translucent port plug).
Please call Support at 303.997.1300 x102 or email
to get help with setting this up.
