With a web browser on any computer that is LAN connected to the console server:
Enter https://192.168.0.1 into the address bar CM4001 Quick Start (Rev 3.1) Page 2 Note: The LAN connected computer must have an IP address in the same network range (192.168.0.xxx) as the console server. If this is not convenient, you can use the ARP Ping command to set the IP address (refer User Manual or online FAQ for details). The console server also has its DHCP client enabled by default, so it will automatically accept any network IP address assigned by any DHCP server on your network – and will then respond at both 192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
