Configuring the Network
By default, the Net Base is configured to obtain IP addresses
automatically via DHCP server. This means that in most cases you
would simply “plug and play” the unit. If necessary, you can use the
configuration utility for dynamic network configuration.
If Your DNS Server Supports Bind 8.3 or Later
1. Obtain the serial number from the label on the bottom panel of the
Net Base.
2. Connect to the network.
3. Power up and wait until the COMM LEDs stop flashing. The COMM
LEDs stop flashing when the Net Base has found the DHCP server.
4. On your workstation, open the web browser and enter the Net Base
serial number exactly as it appears on the label.
5. Press ENTER and the online configuration utility displays on the
workstation.
If Your DNS Server Does Not Support Bind 8.3 or Later
If your DNS server does not support Bind version 8.3 or later,
Hyperterminal
™
or an equivalent terminal emulator program must be
installed on the host workstation to configure the Net Base.
1. Connect the serial cable to the Serial DB-9 Connector on the back
of the Net Base and a COM port on the host computer.
2. Start Hyperterminal or an equivalent terminal emulator program.
Use these settings: 115200 bps, 8,N,1.
3. Power up and wait until the COMM LEDs have stopped flashing.
The COMM LEDs stop flashing when the Net Base has found the
DHCP server.
