The VGA connector on the back of the Altus SE is only needed for configuring the initial IP address settings. Alternatively, you can configure a network in the same range as the default IP addresses and configure via the web interface.

IP Address Configuration

Your system is configured from the factory with default LAN1 and LAN2 IP address as follows:

AoIP (LAN1) network interface: 192.168.2.100 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0
WAN (LAN2) network interface: DHCP

These IP addresses can be changed either by attaching a monitor and USB keyboard and using the intuitive menu or by browsing to the default IP address as described below.

Screen and Keyboard IP Address Assignment

Attach a monitor to the VGA port on the back of Altus SE and a USB keyboard to either USB port on the front. You will see a menu dialog similar to this:

Menu navigation uses the arrow keys and the ENTER and ESC keys.

  • Press ENTER to access the configuration menu

  • Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to highlight the NETWORK menu option, then press ENTER

  • Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to highlight the LAN1 network interface, then press ENTER

  • Select between Manual (Static) or Auto (DHCP)

  • If you choose Manual (Static), configure the IP settings using the UP/DOWN arrow keys to increment or decrement the values and the ENTER or ESC keys to edit or exit each option; you can also type numerals instead of using the arrow keys

  • After configuring the IP, NETMASK, and GATEWAY settings, select DONE then press ENTER

  • If you choose Auto (DHCP), simply press ENTER again to confirm setting the interface to DHCP:

  • Repeat this process for the LAN2 interface and the DNS configuration

  • Once all configurations are complete, navigate to Reboot and Apply Settings and press ENTER; confirm any request; the system will reboot to the new network configuration.

You may now move on to configuring the rest of the Altus SE console

Alternate Network IP Address Configuration

  • Attach the AoIP NIC of Altus SE to a network switch

  • Attach a computer to the same switch and configure the computer’s IP address to be within the 192.168.2.xx range, but avoid using 192.168.2.100

  • Using a web browser, browse to 192.168.2.100:8085

  • Log in using the default Username and Password:
    Username = user
    Password = user

  • A prompt to set a unique password will appear. Set a unique password, and press SAVE to continue.

User interface for creating a new password with fields for input and confirmation.

Initial password configuration

  • A login prompt will now appear. Log in using the password that was just created. The username is still user.

  • From the menu, select Configuration

  • Use the Configure buttons to change the Mode, IP address, Netmask, and Gateway for both the LAN1 and LAN2 network interfaces

  • Click the Reboot button to restart with the new IP addresses

Altus SE is now ready to be configured. Continue to the full product manual for more information.
