Chapter 6: Connecting to the EM2100 This chapter describes how to connect to the EM2100 after the hardware has been successfully installed and powered ON. Additional Information : Refer to the Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Guide for more information about configuring the EM2100 for specific func- tionality. 6.1 Set the IP Address the Client PC's Network Adapter 33 6.2 Access SetNetGo on the EM2100 33 6.1 Set the IP Address the Client PC's Network Adapter After connecting a CAT 5 Ethernet cable from the client PC's Ethernet port to the Maintenance port (MAINT ETH0) of the appliance, set the IP address on the client PC as follows. 1.
Set the client PC to the static IP address of 1.2.3.X. Do not set the client IP address to 1.2.3.4 because this is the fixed IP reserved for the EM2100 Maintenance Ethernet port. 2. Enter as the subnet mask: 255.255.255.0. 3. Apply the network adapter changes to the client PC. Additional Information : The Maintenance Ethernet port can be used for emer- gency or alternate access to the appliance at IP address 1.2.3.4 (if you lose the password or if there is a network IP address conflict, for example). IMPORTANT: You must assign static (fixed) IP addresses to the EM2100 appli- ance. Do not use a DHCP server setting.
6.2 Access SetNetGo on the EM2100 Use SetNetGo to configure and manage EM2100 settings. SetNetGo can be accessed with two methods as described below. 1. Access SetNetGo with a web browser Use a web browser to access SetNetGo when MobilePlanner is unavailable. 2. Access SetNetGo with MobilePlanner Use MobilePlanner to access SetNetGo during normal operation. The sections below describe how to access SetNetGo through the Maintenance port to perform the initial EM2100 configuration. IMPORTANT: The user interface for SetNetGo on an EM2100 appliance provides a different set of parameters and options compared to SetNetGo on an 20569-000 Rev. A EM2100 Installation Guide 33
