Procedure 4-1
Using the BitStorm Server and YesWare modules for
the first time
This procedure contains the requirements and steps involved in using YesWare
for the first time.
Requirements
This section describes the requirements for accessing the YesWare web
interface.
Connecting to the ETH 0 interface
To access the YesWare web interface, you must have access to the network
where the BitStorm Server ETH 0 interface resides. This can be done with a
PC connected over a network, internetwork, simple passive hub, or through a
direct connection to the BitStorm Server ETH 0 interface. See Chapter 3 for
more information.
Browsing to the ETH 0 URL
All YesWare modules are web-based, and are launched by browsing to the IP
address configured for the BitStorm Server ETH 0 network interface. Before
using the YesWare modules described in this manual, you must know the IP
address configured for the ETH 0 interface.
Finding an unknown ETH 0 IP address configuration
If the IP configuration set for ETH 0 is unknown, login to the StormTracker
Configuration Manager and use the port command to display the ETH 0
settings (ETH 1 values are also displayed). See Chapter 3 for a description of
the port command.
Note: The VT-100 may need to be adjusted to increase the window size
("buffer" setting) in order to see all the port data.

Direct PC connection to ETH 0
To connect a PC directly to the ETH 0 interface, a Category 5 Ethernet crossover
cable must be used and the PC must be configured as a TCP/IP node on the same
LAN and subnet as the ETH 0 interface.
BitStorm Server default-configured ETH 0 IP address
To access the BitStorm Server, use the IP address configured using the console
interface (see Chapter 3) or the default-configured ETH 0 address.
The BitStorm Server is configured before shipping with the following ETH 0 IP
address: 192.168.1.2
