Spectracom VersaSync - Network Setup

Network Setup
In addition to a Command Line Interpreter ("CLI"), VersaSync offers a web user interface
("Web UI") that is used to configure and monitor the unit. Described below is how to setup com
munication with the WebUI.
Note: VersaSync supports zeroconf: If you have a DHCP enabled network, you
can use zeroconf for initial setup. For more information, see "Zero Configuration
Setup" on page6. Otherwise follow the instructions below for conventional setup.
Default settings:
VersaSync network settings default to DHCP, i.e. if the unit is connected to a DHCP server via
ETH0 or ETH1, it will accept an assigned dynamic IP address.
In order to apply a static IP address, DHCP must be disabled, as described below. (Your net
work administrator will provide you with an IP address you can use for the VersaSync unit.)
