or through the local console port.
The Serial Console offers support for both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
and static IP addressing. Belkin recommends that IP address be reserved for the Serial
Console and that it remains static while connected to the network.
Web Browser Interface
The web interface provides an easy way to configure the Serial Console. 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.
Step 1 Identifying the IP Address
Once your Serial Console has been connected to your network and is powered up, a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network will automatically
assign the Switch 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 Switch. If no DHCP server is found on your network, the Switch will boot with the
following static IP address: 192.168.2.156.
If you want to connect more than one Serial Console to the same network and there is no
DHCP server available, connect each Serial Console 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 Switch 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 ___).
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 ___).
Type in the Serial Console’s IP address in the browsers address field, using this format:
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (example: http://76.255.43.173) . The login page will appear
(see Fig. 2). Bookmark the page for easy reference.
Note: HTTPS can be used for communication over an encrypted secure socket layer
