2.0 QUICK-START INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Connecting to the Device Manager
The Mercury transceiver provides an on-board web server, known as the
Device Manager, for configuration and diagnostics. Each transceiver
needs to have some basic configuration parameters set before placing
the unit in service. To start the Device Manager, connect an Ethernet
cable from the Mercury to the PC used for configuration. The radio’s
Ethernet interfaces have auto-sense detection allowing a
straight-through or crossover cable to be used.
NOTE: The PC used for radio management must be in the radio’s
default IP Subnet for communicatio ns to take place. It can be
changed once the desired IP address is chosen.
To manage the radio, start a web browser and enter the unit’s IP address.
The transceiver defaults to an IP address 192.168.1.1 and netmask
255.255.255.0. The Mercury will prompt for a username and password.
The default entries for both of these fields are
admin.
NOTE: In case of a lost password and an ina bility to login, see the
Troubleshooting section for details on resetting the password
and the unit's configuration.
Once connected to the Device Manager, the summary page shown in
Figure 2 is displayed.
