Quickly Installing Micro Webserver

This section describes how to quickly install your Micro Webserver using the BOOTP server program provided. This section assumes that you are on the same IP subnet segment and any routers between you and the Micro Webserver are configured to allow BOOTP. These are condensed instructions for those comfortable with quick install procedures. If you are not comfortable with simplified procedures, or the BOOTP utility does not function correctly on your network, refer to the sections, "Installing the Software Utilities" to install the software and "Connecting Micro Webserver" to connect the hardware.

Power Supply Warning

Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.

Installation Warning

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Circuit Breaker (15A) Warning

Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

SELV Circuit Warning

Warning The Ethernet 10BaseT, serial, console, and auxiliary ports contain safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. PRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. Avoid connecting SELV circuits to TNV circuits.

TN Power Warning

Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

Grounded Equipment Warning

Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.

Jewelry Removal Warning

Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Installing Micro Webserver Using the BOOTP Utility

This section is for users running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.x.

Connect your Ethernet RJ-45 connector to the receptacle labeled "Ethernet."
Connect the DC power end of the AC adapter to the receptacle labeled "Power."
Plug the other end of the AC adapter into the AC power source. Do not power on the Micro Webserver.

Note If you power on the Micro Webserver, and DHCP is active on your network, it will assign a random address to the server.

Verify that the rear-panel switch 1 (closest serial port) is up and switch 2 (closest to Ethernet port) is down (and no SCSI devices are connected.
Install the system software as described in the section, "Installing the Software Utilities".
Run the BOOTP utility by selecting it from the Cisco Micro Webserver program group accessed through the Start menu. The main BOOTP window appears:

Click Add. The Bootp Table Editor edit box appears:

Enter the Ethernet address from the bottom of your Micro Webserver.
Enter the desired IP address assigned by your system administrator.
Enter a name for the server in the Node Name field.
Click OK. The entry is added to the Bootp Table list:

Turn the power switch on the rear of the Micro Webserver to the On (up) position.
After a few seconds, the entry from the Bootp Table appears in the Assignment History table. This indicates that the server has received the IP address:

Note You cannot use the BOOTP Server utility twice for the same Micro Webserver or for a Micro Webserver that has already been configured with an IP address. Once the Micro Webserver has an IP address, it quits broadcasting BOOTP requests. Refer to the section "Installing Micro Webserver Using a Terminal" to reset the IP address for such servers. You can also reset the NVRAM by following the instruction in the section, "Resetting Micro Webserver Firmware".

Installing Micro Webserver Using a Terminal

Connect your network Ethernet RJ-45 connector to the receptacle labeled "Ethernet".
Connect the DC power end of the AC adapter to the receptacle labeled "Power".
Plug the other end of the AC adapter into the AC power source.
Ensure that switch 1 (closest to serial Port) is up and switch 2 (closest to Ethernet) is down.
Turn the power switch on the rear of the Micro Webserver to the On (up) position.
Connect a nine-pin serial null modem cable to the Micro Webserver and your workstation or terminal.
Run a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerm provided with Windows 95).
Set the comm port to 9600,n,8,1 with no flow control.
Log into your Micro Webserver using root as the User Name. By default, no password is necessary.
Set the IP address. If your IP address is 198.44.161.120, at the command prompt enter: config nvram internet-address 198.44.161.120

Set the default gateway. If your default gateway is 198.44.161.1, at the command prompt enter: config nvram default-gateway 198.44.161.1

Set the subnet mask. If your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, at the command prompt enter: config nvram subnet-mask 255.255.255.0

Write the changes to memory. At the command prompt enter: config nvram write

Reboot the Micro Webserver. At the command prompt enter: reboot

Completing the Configuration Using a Browser

Using your browser, enter the IP address in the location field using http protocol. Example: http://191.44.161.120

Press Enter.
The Cisco Micro Webserver Home Page appears:

Select the configure icon. The Configuration application (and Login tab) appears:

Enter root in the User Name field. No password is required.
Click OK. The General tabs appear.
Select the Basic tab. The Basic tab appears:

Complete all of the fields with the appropriate information.
Select the Save tab and click Save. Your Micro Webserver is now functional. You can refer to the online documentation to help you administer your site.
