Module 5 – Configuring the VDR

NW6000 – CONFIGURATOR ACCESS INSTALLING WEB CERTIFICATE
1.Connect to the VDR
2.The NW6000 configurator is web based and can be opened in any browser by accessing:
https://nw6000.netwave.local Note: certificate installation is required for this to operate successfully.
Certificate Installation
Initially the Web Certificate needs to be installed on
the laptop to use the https secure connection.
Enter http://172.16.8.2 to access this page and
download and install the certificate.(always last
version!)
Bookmarks
For ease of access, bookmark the site in the
browser to avoid having to use the local hostname
etc.
Please always perform this the first time
connecting to the NW6000!

1ST STEP AFTER INSTALLATION WHEN YOU HAVE CONNECTED LWE
CONFIGURE VLAN SET UP WHEN USING LWE VIDEO
Connect your
ECDIS/Radar’s
(maybe HUB
required)
If you connect only ECDIS/Radar operating on LWE450 standard, preferable is to
connect those to the free CPU port.
Choose afterwards the VLAN page in your configurator, and set up as below:
Note: the ip address set does not matter, you’r are going to add the data with the eth0 ID
(like the network switch)
Save afterwards and probe the data signals in order to retrieve them.

Scheduled reboots can be organised with this page
Log Reboot
This setting is used to control whether the NW6000
logs additional information when the platform
reboots.
This can be used to help track down problems if
required and should be used in consultation with
support.
Scheduled restart
This feature is used to restart the NW 6000 at
periodic intervals.
Once enabled the following options can be
configured for the interval between restarts:
1) Weeks - 1-4. 2) Day - Saturday, Monday, ... 3)

Virtual LAN Settings
NW6000 – VLAN CONFIGURATOR
When more network based connections are made, separation between these networks security based,
should be maintained, setting up different VLAN-ID’s, ip ranges and types can be set in this
page.(double ended ferries)
Requires using second Ethernet port on the NW6000 and an external VLAN switch.(MOXA)
48

49.

NW6000 - CONFIGURATOR
The NW6000 VLAN implementation relies on a separate VLAN enabled switch which is connected to ETH1 on the VDR CPU. This requires a direct
connection to this port in the core module.
The VLAN-ID and associated network(s) are configured independently.
NOTE: The VLAN switch on ETH1 needs to be configured independently. The ports used need to match the VLAN-ID associated with the networks
in the VDR.
The Network Config address control box uses CIDR notation to specify the network, the prefix and the IP address of the VDR on a VLAN e.g.
172.50.8.2/16 configures the VDR VLAN network as follows:
1) Network is 172.50.0.0 to 172.50.255.255 2) Network mask is 255.255.0.0 3) VDR IP address is 172.50.8.2
