Getting Started
The Getting Started pages are a series of pages which set up basic
information for the stack. You are asked:
For a descriptive name for the stack.
If you want to allocate the stack IP information or leave the
allocation to a BOOTP server on your network (if you have one).
A BOOTP server automatically allocates IP addresses to all equipment
on your network.
If you chose to allocate the IP information, you are asked:
For an IP address and subnet mask for the selected unit.
For an IP address for a default router — You may have a default
router which you want the hub to use to communicate with
other networks.
The file path or web address (URL) for the online help system and
documentation files.
To enter a new password (you can leave it blank if you don’t want
to change it).
If you have no previous knowledge of IP, refer to “IP Addresses” on
page 5-7
.
You do not have to use the Getting Started pages to configure this
information, as it can all be configured using other pages in the web
interface.
If you have already configured some of this information for the stack, it
appears in the appropriate fields on the pages.
When you have entered the information in a page, click
Apply
to
display the next page. You can use the back button of your web
browser to return to a previous page. When you display the last page,
click
Finish
to accept the changes you have made and to exit from the
Getting Started pages.
If you have changed any of the IP information, you may need to
re-access the web interface using the new IP address.
