CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
MULTILINK ML1200 MANAGED FIELD SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1–9
Note
If the ML1200 is not connected to a network, then proceed to Step 3 below. or use the
default IP address.
Step 1:
The ML1200 will scan the network for a DHCP server. If the server responds, the ML1200
will acquire and set the assigned IP address. To manage the switch, determine the
assigned IP address and enter as follows in Internet Explorer:
https://
<assigned_IP_address>
Ensure that https is entered, not http, and that there is connectivity (that is, you can ping
the switch).
Step 2:
If there is no response from a DCHP server, the ML1200 will query for a BOOTP server. If the
server responds, the ML1200 will acquire and set the assigned IP address. To manage the
switch, determine the assigned IP address and enter as follows in Internet Explorer:
https://
<assigned_IP_address>
Ensure that https is entered, not http, and that there is connectivity (that is, you can ping
the switch).
Step 3:
If there is no response from either a DCHP or BOOTP server, or if the switch is not
connected to a network, the switch will assign itself an IP address. The ML1200 will check
to see if IP address 192.168.1.2, with a network mask of 255.255.255.0, is free. If so, it will
assume these values. If this IP address is assigned to another device, the ML1200 will
repeat steps 1 through 3 to find a DCHP or BOOTP server or wait for the 192.168.1.2
address to become free.
Once connected, the browser will display a login prompt. The default login is:
•Username: manager
Password: manager
1.4.6 Setting the IP Parameters Using Console Port
Note
To configure the Switch’s IP using EnerVista UR Setup software, refer to chapter 2 of this
manual,
To setup the switch, the IP address and other relevant TCP/IP parameters have to be
specified.
The IP address on the MultiLink ML1200 Managed Field Switch is set to 192.168.1.2 from
the factory. The switch is fully operational as a Layer 2 switch as a default. Setting a
default IP address can potentially cause duplicate IP address problem if multiple switches
are powered on and installed on the network. To manage the switch, an IP address has to
be programmed.
Before starting, please ensure that the IP address assigned to the switch is known or
contact your system/network administrator to get the IP address information. Follow the
steps listed below to configure the switch.
Z Ensure the power is off.
