PREPARING TO INSTALL THE CONTROLLER
Installing the C36 is similar to installing a network switch. If you have installed a managed switch
before, the process will be very similar.
Tools required:
o
Philips Screwdriver (if using rack-mount brackets).
o
PC or Laptop with ehternet interface and a web browser (an integrated DB-9 port or
USB-To-Serial adapter may be necessary if you would like to use the console interface).
o
Ethernet Cable.
INSTALLATION
1.
Open the box and remove the unit.
2.
If mounting the switch in a standard 19” AV rack, attach the rack-mounting brackets that
come with the C36 to the sides. If not rack-mounting, ensure that the switch is
physically mounted near power and network connections (i.e, backbone switch or
firewall/router).
3.
Connect power to the device.
4.
Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the LAN port on the C36.
5.
You are now ready to configure the switch to an IP address that matches your network.
CONFIGURING THE CONT ROLLER
1.
Connect the controller to power and push the power switch on the rear panel. The PWR
LED will light up and the fans will start.
2.
Connect a PC or laptop to the LAN port on the C36 rear panel.
3.
Configure the PC with a static IP address of
192.168.1.10
and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
and then open any browser (Mozilla Firefox is prefered).
4.
In the browser, enter the controller’s default IP address of 192.168.1.236 into the
Address Bar and press <
ENTER
>.
5.
A web page will appear prompting you for a username and password. Enter
pakedge
for
the username and
pakedgec
for the password. Then click “
Login
” to log into the web
administration portal.
