Initial Setup

This guide contains information for the initial setup of the Edge. A wizard will guide you through several steps. The Edge is not ready for operation until the wizard has been completed.

Connecting to the Edge

Section titled “Connecting to the Edge”

To connect to the Edge, you must be connected via the network. Upon delivery or after resetting to factory settings, the IP addresses are set to default values:

  • X1: 192.168.0.5
  • X2: 192.168.1.5

If the Edge is on a different subnet, the Discovery Tool can help. This allows you to configure the X1 adapter so that you can subsequently access the web interface directly.

Setup Wizard

Section titled “Setup Wizard”

The wizard is used to perform the initial configuration of the Edge system. This process will be required again after resetting the Edge.
