Adapter Configuration

3 Adapter Configuration

In order to access the web-based configuration pages, it is necessary to know the adapter’s IP address and for your computer to be connected to the CableLAN adapter (as described in section 2.5). Corinex adapters come with a default IP address Open a web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.0, Mozilla v1.7.2 and Mozilla Firefox v1.0 have been verified for use with these products.), and type the IP address in the address bar – the URL should be http://10.10.1.69/ unless you have already changed it to something else.

Changing the default IP address is required, so that two or more devices can be on the same network. The IP address is a device’s unique identifier on a network, so the adapters would not be able to tell each other apart if they had the same identity, just as a postman wouldn’t know which house to deliver to, if two neighbors in a large city had the same street number. Follow the steps below to configure a new IP address for each adapter:

1. In your computer’s network settings, enter an address in the range 10.10. X.X (e.g. 10.10.1.2) and set the netmask to 255.255.0.0. This is necessary in order to be compatible with the adapter’s default settings. For details on how to set up an IP address on your computer, please see chapter 5.

2. Plug in your Corinex AV200 CableLAN Adapter and connect it to the PC via the supplied Ethernet cable.

3. Open your web browser and type http://10.10.1.69. You will then be able to configure the settings for your CableLAN adapter.

10.10.1.69.

3.1 Password Page

If the password is enabled, you’ll need to login before you can access the configuration pages. Therefore, you will first be taken to the Authentication page for login. If the configuration page is left idle for 5 minutes, the login expires and you will need to login again.

Note: The default password is “paterna”.
