Use a terminal software (e.g. hyperterm or minicom) to connect to the B050-000. Reset the B050-000, and immediately press the “ESC” key. You will see a “=>” prompt. Enter the command “config”, and press the key “ENTER”. Quite soon afterwards you are asked to adjust the IP auto configuration, the IP address, the net mask, and the default gateway. Pressing the “ENTER” key without entering values does not change settings. The gateway value has to be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway) or any other value for the IP address of the gateway. After the confirmation the B050-000 performs a reset using the new values as set before.

Web Interface

The B050-000 may be accessed using a standard Java enabled web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of the B050-000 into your web browser. The initial login set- tings are:

Changing these settings to user specific values is strongly recommended and can be done on the “User Management” page (see the Section called Users And Groups in Chapter 6).

The Remote Console

The Remote Console is the redirected screen, keyboard and mouse of the remote host system in which the B050-000 is installed. The web browser which is used for accessing the B050-000 has to supply a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. However, it is strongly recommended to install Sun JVM 1.4. The Remote Console will behave exactly the same way as if you were sitting directly in front of the screen of your remote system. That means that both the keyboard and mouse can be used in the usual way. Open the console by selecting the preview picture on the main site of the HTML frontend. Figure 1-6shows the top of the Remote Console.
