Configuration steps

Once you have physically installed and connected the NION (as described in Installing the NION), follow the procedures below to configure it with the most important settings.

If the NION has a front panel, you can use this to specify the settings. If the NION is not fitted with a front panel (it is a NION nE), you will need to connect to it using the IP address printed on a sticker on the rear of the unit.

To configure a NION with a front panel

1. Specify a name for the NION.
2. Specify an IP address for the control network.
3. Check that the interfaces you want to use are enabled.
4. Open a web browser, connect to the NION on the control network, then set the time and date.

To configure a NION without a front panel

1. Open a web browser, connect to the NION using its IP address, then configure the network settings.
2. Specify a name for the NION.
3. Check that the interfaces you want to use are enabled.
4. Set the time and date.
