2.12.2.2 Setting Up a Static IP Address via a DHCP Network
To setup a permanent static IP address, after connecting SecureSync to a DHCP
network:
1. Enter the IP address shown on the front panel information display of your
SecureSync unit into the address field of your browser (on a computer con-
nected to the SecureSync network). If the network supports DNS, the host-
name may also be entered instead (the default hostname is productname-
macaddress. See "Zero Configuration Setup " on page63to identify your
MAC address). The start screen of the SecureSync Web UI will be dis-
played.
2. Log into the Web UI as an administrator. The factory-default user name and
password are:
Username: spadmin
Password: admin123
3.
Disable DHCP by navigating to MANAGEMENT > Network Setup. In the
Ports panel on the right, click the GEAR icon next to the Ethernet Port you
are using. In the Edit Ethernet Port Settings window, uncheck the Enable
DHCPv4 field. Do NOT click Submit or Apply yet.
4.
In the fields below the Enable DHCPv4 checkbox, enter the desired Static
IP address, Netmask, and Gateway address (if required). Click Submit.
For subnet mask values, see "Subnet Mask Values" on page71.
5. Verify on the front panel information display that the settings have been
accepted by SecureSync.
6. Enter the static IP address into the address field of the browser, and again
log into the WebUI in order to continue with the configuration; see: "The
Web UI HOME Screen" on page34.
2.12.2.3 Setting Up an IP Address via the Serial Port
SecureSync's rear panel serial port connector is a standard DB9 female con-
nector. Communication with the serial port can be performed using a PC with a
terminal emulator program (such as PuTTY or TeraTerm) using a pinned straight-
thru standard DB9M to DB9F serial cable.
SecureSync's front panel serial port connector is a standard micro-B USB female
connector.
The serial ports can be used to make configuration changes (such as the network
settings), retrieve operational data (e.g., GNSS receiver information) and log files,
or to perform operations such as resetting the admin password.
