1. HARDWARE OVERVIEW
3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The front console port allows a dumb terminal or PC with terminal emulaon soware
to locally access management funcons and connected devices.
The device ports allow simple and exible connecons to serial devices using adapters
and a standard CAT5 cable. Connect one end of the CAT5 cable to the device port and
the other end to an adapter that aaches to the serial console of the target system.
The default communicaon parameters for the device ports and console ports are:
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • 8 data bits • No ow control • No parity
Note: EMG 8500 device ports are reversed by default, and are soware congurable.

SAFETY AND HAZARDS
To log in to the EMG 8500 web page:
1. Open a web browser.
2. In the URL eld, type hps:// followed by the IP address of the EMG.
3. Enter the default user credenals. Username: sysadmin and
Password: last 8 characters of the Device ID (for newly manufac-
tured devices that come installed with 8.2.0.1 or later) or PASS.
Note: If the Device ID is not set, the password is the last 8 characters
of the serial number.
The rst me you log in, the EMG 8500 Quick Setup page is displayed.
Subsequent logins will display the EMG 8500 Home Page.
4. Do one of the following:
• In Quick Setup, update the basic network parameters. Click Apply.
• Bypass the Quick Setup page to begin conguring the EMG. Click the
Accept default Quick Setup sengs checkbox and click Apply.
Aer you save the values for the EMG unit, the changes take eect
immediately.
Do not operate your EMG 8500 device:
• In areas where blasng is in progress
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present including refueling
points, fuel depots, and chemical plants
• Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment
which may be suscepble to any form of radio interference. In such
areas, the EMG 8500 MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the EMG
8500 can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
In an aircra, the EMG 8500 MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the
EMG 8500 module can transmit signals that could interfere with various
onboard systems and may be dangerous to the operaon of the aircra
or disrupt the cellular network. Use of a cellular phone in an aircra is
illegal in some jurisdicons. Failure to observe this instrucon may lead to
suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the oender, or
legal acon or both.
This device is limited to indoor use only. It may not be operated out-
doors.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20 cm separang the antenna and your body.
Warning: Always remove the power cord prior to installing or removing a
connecvity or I/O module. Failure to do so could damage the unit.
4. IP ADDRESSING
The EMG 8500 network ports (Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2) default to
DHCP–assigned IP addresses. If you want to assign a dierent IP
address, it must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and on
the same subnet as your workstaon.
Note: You can view the IP address by running the Lantronix Provisioning
Manager (LPM) applicaon. Download Lantronix Provisioning Manager
and follow instrucons in the user guide to discover devices.
To congure the EMG unit, you need the following informaon:
IP address (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Subnet mask (if not already assigned): ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Gateway: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
DNS: ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
EMG™ 8500 Quick Start Guide Edge Management
Gateway
Note: To access the web page or to access the command line interface
using SSH or Telnet, the EMG unit must have a network connecon and IP
address.
The Quick Setup script lets you congure the Eth1 network sengs,
change the date and me, and change the sysadmin password.
Aer you save the values for your EMG, the changes take eect
immediately.
To access the command line interface:
1. With a network connecon, use a Telnet or SSH program to Telnet or
SSH to xx.xx.xx.xx (the IP address in dot quad notaon), and press Enter.
The login prompt displays.
Note: By default, Telnet is disabled. To enable it, use the Services web
page, a serial terminal connecon, or an SSH connecon with a serial
terminal connecon.
2. Enter the default user credenals. Username: sysadmin and Password:
last 8 characters of the Device ID (for newly manufactured devices that
come installed with 8.2.0.1 or later) or PASS.
Note: The Device ID can be found on the product label on the unit or in
the boot messages on the console.
3. If the Quick Setup script displays, update basic network parameters or
press Enter to accept the current sengs.
For command line interface help, type “help command line” or . “help”
followed by the command.
Note: Change the default password as soon as possible to prevent
access by unauthorized personnel.
