Configuration
Before proceeding, ensure that you have DashBoard installed on a PC that is connected to the same network as your
routing system.
Configuring the IP Addresses
Once either a single PC or a standalone PC has been physically connected to the NK-IPS, the IP address for both the
PC and the NK-IPS needs to be configured. It is recommended that users familiar with networking configure the IP
addresses for both a single and a standalone PC, as well as the NK-IPS.
This topic only applies to single or standalone computers connecting to the NK-IPS; it does not apply when the
NK-IPS is connected directly to the network.
Using DashBoard
The DashBoard client software allows configuration and monitoring of some NK Series devices, and provides
access to other devices in your routing system. DashBoard communicates with devices in your routing system
through the NK-IPS.
DashBoard must be run on a computer that has a physical wired ethernet connection. Wireless connections do not
