IPRS serial gateway User guide ref. 9018409-01 Page 17
1 Set up steps
To configure the gateway, we advise to proceed as follows :
• Connecting a PC to the IPRS serial gateway
• Setting up the LAN interface
• Setting up the serial gateway
or the USB gateway
2 Overview
Administration server address :
The administration html server is located at the LAN IP address of the serial gateway (The
default address is192.168.0.128).
First setup :
For the first configuration, we advise to connect the PC directly to the LAN interface of the
IPRS serial gateway.
Setup modifications :
Modifications can be carried out from the LAN interface, or from the Internet if a firewall
rule authorises to reach the administration server (not advised), or from the Internet or
using a remote user connection or a VPN.
Restoring the factory IP address :
The factory IP address of the serial gateway on the LAN interface can be restored by
setting the DIP switches SW01 ON and SW02 OFF.
In that position o the DIP switches, the stored configuration is not deleted.
Setting the DIP switches in that position gives also a free access to the administration
server from the LAN interface.
During operations, the DIP switches must not be left in that position.
Network IP address :
Later in the text, we often speak of “network address”.
We mean the lowest value of the addresses of the network.
For instance, if the netmask of a network is 255.255.255.0, the network address of that
network is X.Y.Z.0.
Copy and paste :
Parameters must be entered with the keyboard; they cannot be pasted.
However, it can be useful to paste a string when it is long to avoid errors.
In that case, paste the string, delete the last character of the pasted string, and enter it
again with the keyboard.
