Hey there,
When we want to connect the local PC to the eNSP for testing or web configuration, if the eNSP is directly connected to the public network adapter, the connection may fail or the public network may be affected. The eNSP also warns us not to bind the public network.
Therefore, connecting the eNSP to the Loopback adapter of the PC is a better choice. By default, no Loopback adapter is available on the PC. We need to manually create a Loopback adapter.
The following are the detailed steps to create a Loopback adapter on WIN10.
1.Right-click the PC icon on the desktop and select manager to open the computer management.
2. Select Device Manager->Network adapters, and click Action -> add legacy hardware.
3. Click Next on the welcome screen.
4. Choose "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list" and click Next.
5. Scroll down, choose Network adapters in the common hardware types, and click Next.
6.Select Microsoft as the manufacturer, and then select Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback adapter, click Next.
7. Click Next ->Finish.
8. Now we can see the Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback adapter in the Device Manager view.
The following is a simple test. Connect the AC in the eNSP to the Loopback adapter and log in to the web page of the AC.
1. Enter the Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network Connections. Find the loopback adapter and manually configure the IPv4 address.
2. Configure the eNSP cloud. Select the loopback adapter as the public port, add two-way channel. Then connect the cloud to the AC.
3. Enter https://172.16.0.10 in the address box of the browser to access the AC.
