Installation
2 - Dynamic IP Address Assignment
2-1
Connect WEBCARDLX to Network: Connect a standard Ethernet patch cable
to your network using the RJ45 Ethernet port on your WEBCARDLX.
Note: This port does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
The card will attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP. This may take as
long as several minutes, depending on your network environment.
2-2
Determine IP Address: To identify the IP address assigned to the WEBCARDLX,
contact your network administrator and provide the MAC address of the
WEBCARDLX. You can also determine the IP address locally at the card. If you
do not already have the serial over USB driver installed on your PC, you can
download it from www.tripplite.com/support by typing WEBCARDLX in the search
field. Select the driver named “TL-cdc”. To install it, follow the instructions
provided with the driver.
Once the driver is installed and the COM port has been assigned, start a
terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro. Configure it to use the
assigned COM port and use the following serial port settings: 115.2Kbps, 8,
NONE, 1. Connect the USB cable to the PC and the Micro-USB end to the
Micro-USB port on the WEBCARDLX. When the login prompt appears, login as
localadmin / localadmin. When the Menu appears, navigate to "3- Network
Configuration", then to "1- IP Configuration". The assigned IP address will be
displayed. After you have determined the IP address, proceed to 4 - Test and
Configure.
Note: You may wish to request a long-term lease period for the IP address, depending on
your application.
Note: PowerAlert
®
Device Manager and the WEBCARDLX support both IPv4 and IPv6. The
card is set up by default to receive a DHCP address for IPv4, IPv6 or both. Receiving both
addresses allows connection to the card via either the IPv4 or IPv6 address.
