3.1 IP Settings
This section covers all the steps necessary to setup your system
3.1.1 IP Address
The VSA-51 comes preconfigured for DHCP which means it will automatically obtain an IP address when it is connected
to the LAN. It is recommended that you set a static IP on each system in order to guarantee it maintains the same
address. In order to set a static IP you must first discover what DHCP address was issued and then login to reconfigure
the settings.
3.1.1.1 Assigning Static IP address using the web interface
Before you can access the device on your browser, you need to know what temporary IP address has been assigned to it
by your LAN. Download and install th
utility available on Hall Research Website. Once installed, run the
program. It will scan your LAN and locate any devices that are connected.
DeviceInstaller
Follow these steps to configure the VSA-51 IP address.
1. Open your browser and enter the IP address indicated by DeviceInstaller.
2. Login with the default username “admin” and password “pass”.
3. Click on Configuration -> System -> Communications. Here you can set the unit for DHCP or static IP. It’s
best to assign a static IP so the address will always remain the same.
4. Set the IP address to a known reserved IP.
5. Set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
6. Set the gateway. This is usually XXX.XXX.XXX.1 where the first three octets match the subnet.
(i.e.: 192.168.0.1)
7. Set DNS servers. If you don’t know this information you can usually specify the gateway address for the
primary DNS. Secondary DNS is optional.
8. Click reboot. It should take approximately 15 seconds for the unit to reboot and come back online.
9. Change the IP address in the browser address bar to match the new VSA-51 IP address and hit enter. If you
are prompted to login again then the VSA-51 is properly configured with a new IP.
Your Device’s IP Address
NOTE
Don’t try to change the IP address of your appliance here. The IP address can be changed from Web interface or
