could be specific to your site’s network configuration.
• Using DHCP
• Using the default IP address
T To Use a Dynamic IP Address to Access the
Web Manager
This procedure assumes that DHCP is enabled, and that you are able to obtain
the dynamic IP address that is currently assigned to ACS.
1. Mount the AlterPath ACS.
2. Connect computers and other devices to be managed through the ACS.
3. Power on the ACS and connected devices.
4. Obtain the ACS’s current IP address.
5. Enter the ACS’s IP address in the browser’s Address window.
6. Login to the ACS and finish configuring users and other settings using the
Web Manager.
T To Use the Default IP Address to Access the Web
Manager
The default IP address for the ACS is 192.168.160.10. This procedure
assumes that you are able to temporarily change the IP address of a computer
that is on the same subnet as the ACS.
1. On a computer that resides on the same subnet as the ACS, change the
network portion of the IP address of that computer to 192.168.160.
For example, you could change the computer’s IP address to
192.168.160.44. For the host portion of the IP address, you can use
any number except 10, 0, or 255.
2. Bring up a browser on the computer whose address you changed, enter the
ACS’s default IP address, http://192.168.160.10 to bring up the
Web Manager, and log in.
