Initial Configuration of the VI-5990
You can perform the initial configuration of your VI-5990 by attaching a monitor,
keyboard and mouse directly to the VI-5990. You may also connect a PC directly to the
VI-5990 by using a crossover Ethernet cable connected directly between the Ethernet 0
interface (leftmost Ethernet as looking from the rear) and your PC. You may also connect
the VI-5990 directly to a switch and connect your PC to the same switch. When
connecting to the VI-5990 using the default IP address, your PC must be configured with
an appropriate IP address to be able to communicate on the same subnet as the VI-5990
(192.168.0.x, where x= 1-254, but do not use ‘46’ which is used by the VI-5990, or ‘254’
which is already defined as the default gateway in the file).
If you are using the directly attached monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you may open the
local browser by using the mouse to select Start>Programs>Firefox. Firefox is the
browser that is included on the VI-5990. The local browser will make the connection
using the internal network address and thus does not need to be configured for an IP
address initially.
If you are using a PC, once you have an appropriate hardware connection between your
PC and the VI-5990, start your browser and connect to the configured IP address. (i.e.
‘
http://192.168.0.46 ’)
