Using the web interface

Specifying the IP address via the web browser

1. Open a web browser and enter the NION IP address into the web address bar.
2. Click the Network tab.

   If a different static IP address is required then:

   1. Make sure that static is selected in the IP Configuration Method list.
   2. Fill in IP address and netmask value appropriate to your network. The Gateway and DNS entries can also be entered if required.

      Note: To change settings on the web interface a user name and password is needed. The default username is superuser; it has no password.

   If DHCP is required for set-up purposes, select DHCP in the IP Configuration Method list.

   Note: Care should be taken when choosing DHCP rather than static. DHCP mode is provided on the NION machine as a convenience when using NioNodes in informal settings, such as when you are experimenting. Static IP addresses should always be used when NioNodes are deployed in production systems. DHCP-obtained IP addresses depend on a lease to be maintained by the DHCP server in order to keep an assigned IP address. If the IP address is allowed to expire there is a chance that the IP address assigned to one or mode NioNodes could be lost, changes or reassigned, resulting in the lost of control audio from a NION project.

3. Once the network configuration page has been completed, reboot the NION:
   1. Click the Special tab.
   2. In the action list , click reboot and then click do it.

4. Once the NION has rebooted, enter the new IP address into the web browser.
