4. INSTALLING MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS

Configuring the NetVanta 2000 Series through the web interface requires a host computer with an Ethernet

interface and a web browser. ADTRAN recommends using Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater for optimal

viewing of configuration web pages.

The NetVanta 2000 Series is configured with a default IP address of 10.10.10.1 and a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0 on the private interface. Select an IP address in the same range as the NetVanta unit and

assign it to the host computer running the web browser. An example IP address is 10.10.10.50 with a

subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This section contains detailed procedures for assigning the selected IP

address to a host computer for each of the popular operating systems.

After configuring the IP address of your host, open your installed browser and enter 10.10.10.1 in the URL

field. The NetVanta login window appears. Enter

admin as the username, enter your admin password, and

click the

OK button. (The default password is password.) After logging into the NetVanta, the Interfaces

page appears. Use the Getting Started page to walk through the setup process.

Configuring the Host IP Address

Select from the following options: Microsoft Windows 2000® or Windows XP®; Microsoft Windows

NT® or Windows 98/95®; or POSIX®-Compliant UNIX®/LINUX®.

For security purposes, it is important to set up an admin password immediately. Use the

Passwords page of the Web interface to change this password.

If you have a PC with DHCP client capabilities enabled, connect the NetVanta unit directly

to your computer using the supplied Ethernet crossover cable. No other IP address

configuration is necessary.

NetVanta units have DHCP server capabilities enabled by default. Connecting the unit to a

network with a functioning DHCP server can cause IP address assignment conflicts.

For any operating system not discussed in this section, refer to the system’s user

documentation for instructions on assigning IP addresses.

Depending on the operating system, changing a PC’s TCP/IP setting may require a reboot.
