17 General configuration

This appendix describes the general configuration procedures for TJ1600 product family.

17.1 Switch ON node and PC configuration

1. Switch ON the Node, and wait for 7 minutes for the node to completely come-up (before trying to ping or access the node (through browser).

2.     The Factory default IP address for the Multiplexer is 192.168.1.254.

3.     Use a PC/Laptop and configure the PC/laptop as mentioned in the following:

   IP Address to: Replace the IP address in the 192.168.1.0 network.

   Subnet Mask to: 255.255.255.0.

4.     Connect the PC to the LAN/NMS/LCT interface of the multiplexer using a cross RJ-45 LAN/NMS cable.

17.2 Login to the system

Do the following steps to login to the system:

1. Connect the Ethernet port of PC/Laptop to the LAN/NMS port of the node using a cross cable. Use straight cable only, if both the Node and PC/Laptop are connected through Hub/Switch.

2.     Open the Internet Explorer in the Windows PC. Enter the address in the address space: https://192.168.1.254 or http://192.168.1.254:20080.

NOTE: When logging in for first time, http login to the node is set as disable by default. When enabled, user can access the node through both https (secure) and http (insecure) login.

3.     Log into the WUI with following user name and password:

   User Name: tejas

   Password: j72e#05t

4.     Configuration:

   Name: Enter the Name of the Site/Location.
