What
would cause information not to be displayed in the interSeptor
browser?
|
| |
If the browser is being displayed without any
actual readings (ie. the sensor readings on the comprehensive
page or the alarms on the detail page) then this is most likely
due to the JVM (Java virtual machine) for your browser being
disabled. In Internet Explorer this can be changed by going to
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and locating the
appropriate setting.
For more information regarding installation and / or setup of a
JVM, please consult Sun
Microsystems JVM site for more information. |

Does
the interSeptor have a default IP address?
|
| |
The default IP address of the interSeptor will
be 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ are the last two pairs of
the MAC address in decimal (for a hexadecimal to decimal converter
online click here.)
However, if DHCP is enabled on your network the interSeptor will
request an IP address automatically from the DHCP server (this
feature is enabled by default but can be switched off). In this
case you can use the upgrade utility provided on the CD-ROM in
the /upgrade/ directory to locate the interSeptor. Simply run the
utility and press the "Discover" button, and all interSeptors
on the network will be located with their associated IP and MAC
addresses. |

What
would cause the interSeptor to change it's IP address?
|
| |
If the BOOTP / DHCP capability is left on (see
the interSeptor Control page in the management section of the
browser) then the interSeptor's IP will be whatever your DHCP
server assigns it as and may change upon rebooting or restarting
if the DHCP lease on the IP address runs out.
If a spare IP is available it may be worth disabling this feature
so that the interSeptor is always in the same place (in IP terms!) |

How
do I log onto the interSeptor as administrator and configure
the unit?
|
| |
When configuring the unit over telnet the password
entered at the start of the session has to be the administrative
password and therefore the configuration options will all be
available.
 To
configure the unit via the web browser you must actually log
in as the administrator by pressing one of the buttons located
on each of the configuration pages. This will bring up a dialog
box in which you need to enter your username (the default is
"interSeptor") and a password (the default is "admin").

How
do I change the interSeptor administrator password?
|
| |
The administrator password can be changed in
a telnet session with the interSeptor unit (which will require
you to enter the current administration password). When in the
telnet session choose "interSeptor Configuration" and
then "Control Group". Option 3 ("Community read
/ write") is the choice required to change the administrative
password.
The interSeptor administrator password cannot be changed through
the interSeptor browser interface to ensure maximum security
of the password. |
