Getting started
To start using Vector, follow these simple steps:
•
Power up the Mentor RG and wait until it has initialised: this takes around 60 seconds.
•
Using the front panel controls, navigate to: SETUP >> MORE >> COMMS >> NETWORK.
•
Enter IP ADDRESS and SUBNET MASK values which are appropriate for your network. The
gateway address is optional. Static IP addresses are preferred although DHCP is also offered.
If you are unsure, consult your IT Administrator.
•
Connect the Ethernet port on the Mentor RG to your network, using a standard RJ-45 cable
(not supplied).
•
On a PC connected to the same network as the Mentor RG, open your web browser.
•
Navigate to the address http://<address> where <address> is that which you entered on the
Mentor RG front panel. For example, http://192.168.1.50.
At the log-in screen, enter the username and password which by default are both set as
admin
. The
landing page for Vector will then be displayed.
