Access the Web Interface
Once all your power connections have been made, you are ready to congure the
FMS via the web interface.
1. Plug the crossover cable (included with the FMS) into the computer that will be
used to congure the FMS.
Note: This cable is not intended to be connected to a network hub.
2. Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the Ethernet port on the back
of the FMS.
Note: You can also use the FMS’s EIA-232 interface to access the FMS. Refer
to the FMS User Guide (available at http://www.rletech.com) for instructions.
3. Write down the computer’s current IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. Change these items temporarily so that the computer can
communicate with the FMS.
FMS default IP address: 10.0.0.188
FMS default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
4. Access the FMS through a Web browser by typing the FMS’s default IP address
(10.0.0.188) into the location bar and pressing Enter.
Enter the following:
Default User Name: falcon (case sensitive)
Default Password: (No default password. Leave this eld blank.)
5. From the top bar, select the Conguration Menu link. You will select menu
options from the Conguration Menu for all conguration tasks described in this
guide.
Congure Network Communications
IMPORTANT! Consult your IT administrator before performing these steps.
Click the Internet Protocol link in the Conguration menu to access the IP
Conguration page.
1. Enter the values for IP Address, Net Mask (subnet mask), and Def Route
(default gateway) provided by your IT administrator.
Once you enter the values and click the Submit Changes button, the FMS saves
the changes and reboots. The system status LED on front of the FMS stops
ashing.
2. Reset the computer to its original IP address and subnet mask.
Note: This step might require assistance from your IT administrator.
The computer and the FMS are now both congured to communicate on the
network.
3. Connect the computer and the FMS to the network.
4. From the computer’s Web browser, go to the new IP address of the FMS.
5. When prompted, enter the user name and password to verify network access to
the FMS (as you did in step 4 in the previous section).
If the login window for the FMS does not display:
A. Verify that the cables are rmly attached.
B. Verify that you entered the correct IP address for the FMS.
C. Check for activity on the Link and Active LEDs on the front of the FMS as
follows:
• If the Link LED is off, the FMS is not connected to the network.
Check the cable connections.
• If the Active LED is on solid, too much data is being sent to the
FMS for it to process. Consult your IT administrator.
