Network Configuration

Before you can connect to a target device, you will need to configure the network settings. The Console Server offers two methods of setting the network: via web-browser interface or through the local console port.

The Console Server offers support for both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP addressing. Belkin recommends that an IP address be reserved for the Console Server and that it remains static while connected to the network.

Web-Browser Interface

The web interface provides an easy way to configure the Console Server. The administrator can configure all features through the Web.

Initial Settings

The following section provides instructions for setting the IP address for the OmniView Serial Console Server.

Step 1 Identifying the IP Address

Once your Console Server has been connected to your network and is powered up, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network will automatically assign the Console Server an IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask.

To identify the IP address on your network, use the MAC address located on the back of the Console Server. If no DHCP server is found on your network, the Console Server will boot with the following static IP address: 192.168.2.156.

If you want to connect more than one Console Server to the same network and there is no DHCP server available, connect each Console Server to your network one at a time, and change the static IP address of each unit before connecting the next unit.

Note: If a DHCP server later becomes available on your network, the Console Server will take a new IP address from the DHCP server. To keep the original static IP address, you will need to disable DHCP (see page 18).

Step 2 Logging into the Web Interface

After you identified the IP address of your device, open your web browser. A list of supported browsers can be found on page 3.

Type in the Console Server’s IP address in the browser’s address field, using this format: http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (example: http://76.255.43.173). The login page will appear (see next page). Bookmark the page for easy reference.
