Manipulates network routing table in your workstation
Normally, the first time you use inSentry, your workstation is unable to
communicate to inSentry since they are not in the same IP subnet. However, you
may use “route add” command to manipulate the network routing table in your
workstation in order to carry out the inSentry configuration. If the IP address of the
machine is in the same subnet as inSentry, just run the Web Browser directly.
1. Procure a workstation (Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP or
later installed) and set up the TCP/IP protocol, if necessary.
2. Enter the following command to add a routing condition:
Route add 172.17.7.18 210.67.192.147
20
Assume the IP address of the workstation is 210.67.192.147.
NOTE: Default IP address of inSentry is 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ is
the last two pairs of the MAC address of inSentry in decimal.
Ex: Mac address = 00 E0 D8 04 0A 15 then the default IP = 172.17.10.21
NOTE: See the Windows manual for detailed information on how to add a routing
condition to the PC.
Running the Web Browser
1. Make sure that you have a TCP/IP network already installed.
2. If there is no DHCP network service on the network, contact your network
administrator to get an IP address for you workstation that has the same
network’s address as the inSentry’s default IP address.
The default IP address
of inSentry is 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ is the last two pairs of the MAC
address of inSentry in decimal.
3. Start your Web Browser.
Enter the URL “http:\\172.72.XXX.ZZZ” in the address box where XXX and

5 - Managing inSentry via SNMP
Setting SNMP parameters in inSentry If you intend to manage your inSentry/EMD
via SNMP NMS (Network Management station), you may want to customize some
of the SNMP settings (such as System Name, System Contact and System Location
and so on).
NOTE: Before using inSentry in SNMP environment, the IP address, gateway
must be configured properly. See Chapter 2 for details.
5.1 SNMP Access Control Setting
The inSentry supports SNMP protocol. You can use SNMP NMS to manage EMD
through the network. The IP address of the workstation must be entered in the
inSentry write access table to prevent unauthorized users from configuring inSentry
via HTTP or SNMP protocols.
NOTE: If you do not enter the IP address of the workstation to the Access Control
Table (via Serial Port or Telnet) or the SNMP/HTTP Access Control (via Web
Browser) in inSentry, the SNMP NMS can only view the EMD status; it will not be
able to perform any configuration on inSentry/EMD. (See Pg. 15 Access Control
Table Setting and Pg. 28 SNMP/HTTP Access Control for details.)
5.2 SNMP Trap Receivers Setting
See Pg. 36 SNMP Trap Receiver s for details.
5.3 Set up SNMP Manager Software
1. Add the MIB file of inSentry in the inSentry CD-ROM to the MIB database of
the SNMP manager.
2. Search for inSentry in the network
3. To access the inSentry SNMP agent, use ‘public’ for the GET community
string and the Read/Write password (default is admin) for the SET
community string.
GET Community string: public
SET Community string: admin
For more information, see the MIB file on the inSentry CD-ROM.
