Quick Setup:
After powering on the Peribit Sequence Reducer and assigning IP parameters, the next step is to log in to the SRS Web con-
sole and run the Quick Setup program. The first time you log in to the Web console, the Quick Setup program initiates auto-
matically and guides you through initial configuration options for the device.
You can log in to the Web console from any workstation within your network. The Web console supports Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 5.5 and 6.0. Data is securely transmitted through HTTPS.
To log in to the Web console and run Quick Setup, follow these steps:
➊
From a workstation within your network, start your Web browser and enter the following URL:
https://(ip address of the Sequence Reducer)

In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type
admin
for the user name and
peribit
for the password.
NOTE:
This is a factory-configured password for the device. You will be asked to change the default password during the
Quick Setup.
➋
Select an Operating Mode.
A Peribit Sequence Reducer can be set up to run in Inline mode or Profile Mode.
•
Inline Mode
— Active operation where the Sequence Reducer reduces data, accelerates TCP applications, and manages
bandwidth. If you have installed the Sequence Reducer inline (e.g., between a router and a switch), select this option for
operation.
•
Profile Mode
— Passive operation where the Sequence Reducer can calculate potential data reduction statistics for all
traffic, individual applications, and specific remote subnets. The actual traffic is not affected.
NOTE:
To use Profile Mode, the Sequence Reducer’s Local interface must be connected to a mirrored port on the switch,
and the Remote interface must be disconnected. If you have installed the Sequence Reducer inline, do not select Profile
Mode as data will be dropped by the Sequence Reducer.
For more information about setting up and using a Sequence Reducer in Profile Mode, refer to “Peribit Profile Mode” in the
Operator’s Guide.
