Initial Configuration of an EL-500
This user’s guide provides a comprehensive overview of all of the EL-500’s features and
configurable parameters. However, it is possible to deploy a network of EL-500s while only
changing a limited number of parameters. The list below will guide you through a minimal
configuration procedure that prepares a network of EL-500s for deployment.

The default password should be changed to prevent
unauthorized access to the EL-500.
See section 9.1
2

The node ID affects the client access interface IP address
spaces when the using implicit addressing scheme.
See section 9.2
3

To simplify initial configuration, the web GUI has a page that allows the user to change all the
parameters listed in this section on a single page. This page can be accessed by clicking on
the ‘Minimal configuration’ link in the web interface navigation bar on the left side of the web
interface.
In addition to setting the parameters on the “Minimal Configuration” page,
OnRamp access should be disabled after initial programming. See section
