# Telos Zephyr Connect SE Quick Start Guide

This quick-start guide is used to connect Zephyr Connect SE to the network and activate the license. The rest of the configuration will be completed using the Zephyr Connect manual.

| Reference | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| A | DC 12V port for external 120V - 240V, 50/60Hz power supply (included) |
| B | AoIP (LAN1) network interface |
| C | WAN (LAN2) network interface |
| D | The VGA connector on the back of the Zephyr Connect 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 Zephyr Connect SE and a USB keyboard to either USB port on the front. You will see a menu dialog similar to this:

- 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**

- 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 Zephyr Connect SE console

### **Alternate Network IP Address Configuration**

- Attach the AoIP NIC of Zephyr Connect 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.

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
