5.1.3 Web Server Initial Access
5.1.3.1 Web Server
The BASC20 contains an interactive web server, accessible from any Internet-compatible
PC on the local network. It is compatible with all recent browsers. It is factory
programmed with a default IP address of 192.168.92.68 and a Class C subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. Once configured, changing its IP address is strongly encouraged.
5.1.3.2 Initial Access
The hardware arrangement for initially setting the BASC20 IP address appears in
Figure 11 . The PC should be temporarily disconnected from the Ethernet LAN in
case the BASC20’s default address matches that of a device on the existing LAN.
The procedure for altering the IP address creates a temporary LAN composed of
nothing but the BASC20, the PC used to configure it and a CAT5 cable connecting
the two. Since the BASC20 supports Auto-MDIX, either straight-through or
crossover cable can be used.
For initial configuration, the PC chosen for the procedure should temporarily have its
IP address modified as shown in
Figure 12 — which employs a Windows ® 7 example.
Figure 12 — Steps for Changing the IP Address of the PC Used for Setup
Figure 12 uses an IP address for the PC of 192.168.92.69, but the final quad of the
address could be any value 1 –254 except for 68 which is used by the BASC20.
After setting the IP address of the PC to the same LAN as the BASC20, a browser
can access the BASC20 default IP address.
When first accessing the BASC20, you must provide the default login credentials.
We strongly advise you to change these values as discussed in Section
5.1.4.4 .
