4.2  NETWORK PARAMETERS 
 
The SNMP/Web adapter connects to the network using the following parameters: 
• 
IP address 
identifies the adapter on the network. 
• 
Subnet mask 
defines a range of addresses within the organisation. 
• 
Gateway   
the node used for connection to addresses outside the subnet. 
The adapter can be configured to obtain these settings automatically using DHCP or BOOTP protocols, 
or to use static addresses (manual configuration). 
 
 
 
4.2.1  Default configuration  
The SNMP/Web adapter comes with a pre-configured MAC address, with the following format: 
00:12:93:Fx:xx:xx 
00:12:93 identifies the manufacturer. 
 
x:xx:xx  is a unique code for every adapter. 
The MAC address is written on a label sticker on the SNMP/Web adapter.  
 
The factory default configuration for the SNMP/Web adapter is using DHCP. Assign the IP address to the 
adapter MAC address in your DHCP server. Then reboot the adapter in order to have it retrieve the IP 
address. The adapter is now accessible and configurable over the network. 
 
 
 
 
 
4.2.2  Reboot  
Every time the network settings are changed, these become effective only after a reboot. The adapter 
can be rebooted: 
• 
Manually, pressing the reset button on the front of the adapter 
• 
Using the console interface (either serial connection or telnet) by injecting the reboot command 
• 
Using a web browser, selecting ‘Reboot’ in the menu
