3. COMMISSIONING
Netsilon configuration is performed exclusively on the web server. In order to be able to access the web server, it is
necessary to configure the ETH0 port via the front panel keypad and the LCD screen.
In order not to disrupt Netsilon synchronisation with the other products present on the network, it is
importanttomaintainidentificationofthetimeserver.
There are two solutions for accessing the web server:
> With DHCP server: automatic assignment of an IP address.
> Without DHCP server: manual assignment of a xed IP address via the control panel in the Netsilon network
menu.
3.1Factoryconguration
The default configuration settings have been selected to facilitate initial configuration. A single account is activated
when shipped from the factory.
> Default user account of the web server:
> Username: bodetadmin
> Password: admin49
Thisaccountcannotbedeleted.However,itisstronglyrecommendedtochangethepassword(see
chapter4.2.1.1Changingthepasswordofthedefaultaccount).
When first running Netsilon, the default settings are as follows:
Functionalities Default status Means of configuration

3.4CongurationwithaDHCPserver
1) On start up, the Netsilon 9 / 11 time server waits for automatic assignment of an IP address by the DHCP server.
This may take a few minutes.
2) Once assigned, this IP address is shown on the LCD screen. By default, the LCD screen alternately displays
several settings. To read the IP address on the LCD screen, consult the network menu using the Netsilon control
panel and the LCD screen:
3) Enter the IP address as seen on the LCD screen into the web browser (Google Chrome®, Mozilla Firefox,
Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer®).
4) See chapter 4.Configurationonwebserver.
192.168.1.0/24istheIPaddresswithCIDRnotation.

3.5CongurationwithoutaDHCPserver
Without automatic assignment of an IP address by a DHCP server, it is necessary to manually assign a fixed IP
address.
To manually configure the Netsilon network settings, enter the following three parameters:
> IP address assignment
> This is a unique address assigned to Netsilon by the network administrator. Ensure that the chosen
address is available. Ensure that the chosen address is available.
> Subnet mask
> The subnet mask defines the number of bits taken by the IP address. The number of bits used in the
network mask may range from 8 to 30 bits.
> Gateway
> The gateway address is required if communication with Netsilon is made outside the local network. By
default, the gateway is disabled.
To configure these three parameters, use the Netsilon network menu, via its control panel:
