User's Guide

USER GUIDE
Enter the administrator User Name – “Admin” and a Password. The default password is
“Admin” but we strongly recommend that you to change it immediately after logging into the
Manager/One application. Click the ‘OK’ button to login to Manager/One.
An initial network view page will appear. Refer to the Management and Configuration section
for more information about how to use Manager/One to configure and manage your network.
HOST NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
Access/One Network requires the presence of several network servers/services in the host
wired network. These are:
DHCP server – is necessary to distribute IP addresses and ancillary information to the
Access/One Network. Many routers contain DHCP servers and allow the specification of
DHCP options necessary to provide network information otherwise configured by hand. Strix
recommends each module be given a DHCP reservation allowing it to obtain the same IP
address whenever required. The reservation is based on MAC address and may allow
administrator to specify options unique to a module as well as a network. The Access/One
Network modules require the following option numbers (RFC 2132) to be specified:
Option
Number
Title Description
1 Subnet mask Network subnet mask as applied to the given IP address
2 Time Offset Number of hours the DHCP client will add or subtract from SNTP time
3 Default Router Specifies the default gateway for this network segment
6 DNS Server Specifies one or two DNS servers in order of precedence
12 Host Name Specifies the unique system name of the module
15 Domain Name
Specifies the domain name for this network. This is used to fully qualify any
hostname operations the module may generate (i.e. ping node1 = ping
node1.strixsystems.com). Applies to module operations only, doesn’t affect users.
42 NTP server Specifies the NTP server IP address (local or internet)
The DHCP lease time should be infinite whenever possible to prevent interruption in service,
although Strix recommends configuring a reservation for each Access/One Network module to
prevent issues regardless of the lease time and in order to maintain management consistency.
DHCP server examples are: Windows 200X Server, Cisco IOS, Linux, Sun OS, etc.
