Setup the B095 Console Server

• SelectSerial & Network: Serial Port to display the labels, modes and protocol options currently

set for each serial port—by default all serial ports for B095- and B096-Console Servers are set

in Console Server mode (refer to the User Manual if other modes are required). Serial ports on

the B092-016 are set to UPS (PowerAlert) Device mode.

The default console server IP address is 192.168.0.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). With a

web browser on any computer that is LAN connected to the console server:

• Enterhttps://192.168.0.1 into the address bar.

• Loginusingthedefaultsystemusername root and the default password default, a Welcome

screen listing the basic conﬁguration steps is displayed.

• Select System: Administration, enter and conﬁrm a new System Password and click Apply.

Note: The LAN connected computer must have an IP address in the same network range

(192.168.0.xxx) as the B095 console server. Alternately you can use the ARP Ping command

to set the IP address (refer to the User Manual). The console server DHCP client is enabled by

default, so it will automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on

your network – and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.

• To assign your console server a static IP address or to permanently enable DHCP, select

System: IP then check DHCP or Static for Conﬁguration Method.
