3 Software Configuration
INTRODUCTION
The following provides details on the software configuration of the NEXUS-3 Series hardware. Please
follow the steps contained within this section for proper setup and configuration.
TOOLS REQUIRED
The following tools will be required for proper configuration of the system:
• PC/Laptop
• Ethernet cross-over cable, or other network connection to your NEXUS-3 Series device
• Standard web-browser such as Windows Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or other.
• NEXUS-3 Series License file pre-installed
CONNECTING TO A NEXUS-3 SERIES DEVICE
The NEXUS-3 Series device is shipped with a default IP address (
192.168.1.251
) and subnet mask
(
255.255.255.0
) on the primary Ethernet Port.
Your laptop’s network card must be configured in a manner where it may access this IP network setting.
Refer to your operating system documentation for details on how to configure your network card.
See
Ethernet Settings
on page 26 for details on how to reconfigure NEXUS-3 Series device IP Address.
Note: The recovery Ethernet Port is configured with a default IP address (
192.168.1.250
) and subnet mask
(
255.255.255.0
), so that if connectivity is lost on the primary LAN port, you can use the recovery port to
gain access to the NEXUS-3 Series controller as described below and reset it.
Primary and Recovery ports should not be both connected at the same time – unplug the primary port
when connecting your laptop to the recovery port.
To use the recovery port:
• Depending on your Operating System, set your Network Adaptor to the
192.168.1.0/24
IP network.
e.g. in Windows, in Settings > Network & Internet set the IP address to
192.168.1.1
and Subnet Mask to
255.255.255.0
(i.e. the default value).
• You should now be able to reach
http://192.168.1.250/
in a browser on your PC and proceed from
there. (If you have HTTPS enabled, you can reach the target at
https://192.168.1.250/
instead.)
• Once recovery is complete, the NEXUS-3 Series device must be rebooted.
