Managing Device Locally

The following Accelerated View actions are typically only performed by your network administrator. Note: Using Accelerated View to centrally manage your device is recommended. If you are not using Accelerated View, you must manage and configure your device using the local interface.

Connecting to the Device

Communication with the device is typically via its Ethernet port. By default, you can connect to the device via its Ethernet port, at the IP address 192.168.210.1. You can access the device via this default IP address using a PC connected to its Ethernet port.

When connected to your site network, your Accelerated 6300-CX will attempt to use DHCP to establish a connection and obtain an IP address. If a DHCP server is operating on the site network then the device will receive an IP address configuration from the local network. You can also access the device using the IP address provided in the DHCP connection
