4.2.4 Accessing the Core Configuration Manager (CCM) of a HelixNet unit in link-
local mode
As an alternative to configuring your device from the front menu screens you can use the browser
based CCM.
To access the CCM of a HelixNet unit in link-local, you must connect to it from a computer that is
also in link-local mode.
A computer can be put into link-local mode by ensuring it is in DHCP mode and connecting it to a
unit that is already in link-local mode with a standard Ethernet cable. The computer will look for a
dynamically generated IP address (DHCP), and when it does not find one will enter link-local
mode automatically.
Once the computer is connected to the HelixNet device and in link-local mode, you can connect to
your unit by opening a browser window on the computer and inputting the unit’s IP address (from
the front panel display) into the address field. This takes you to the Core Configuration Manager
where you can configure the device as usual. See Core Configuration Manager (CCM) for more
detail.
Note: The units will operate in link-local, but for optimum performance it is recommended that
they are used with either static or DHCP network settings.
