Optibase MGW 2400 WMT user manual To initialize MGW 2400 for the first time

Chapter 2 • Initial Configuration

To initialize MGW 2400 for the first time:

1.If you have not already done so, use a serial cable to connect MGW 2400’s RS-232 port to the previously chosen and configured serial COM1 port on the Configuration PC.

2.Connect MGW 2400’s Ethernet links to two separate network segments. Connecting both NICs to the same network segment causes network conflicts.

3.To avoid network conflicts, make sure that you do not have a network device with the hostname MGW2400 connected to any of the relevant network segments.

4.Switch MGW 2400 on.

5.Start HyperTerminal and log on to MGW 2400’s Configuration Utility as Administrator; MGW 2400 initializes. Administrator's default password is Administrator.

•If you connect a DHCP enabled network segment to NIC A, TCP/IP settings are assigned automatically for that NIC.

•If you connect a network segment to NIC B or if the network segment connected to NIC A is not DHCP enabled, refer to page 34 for instructions on defining TCP/IP settings for the relevant NIC.

6.Press any key to get to the Main menu.

Note

•External WMS servers require networks that support 100Mbps Full Duplex.

•By default, DHCP is disabled for NIC B.
