Setting up and configuring the PC1 using a Web browser
To set up the PC1 for Ethernet communication using a Web browser, you must
temporarily configure the PC to communicate with the interface. Then you can
change the PC1’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optionally]
administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or
on the Internet (WAN). After you have set up the PC1 for network communication,
you can reset the PC to its original network configuration.
IPL T PC1’s LAN port defaults:
PC1’s IP address: 192.168.254.254
Gateway’s IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
DHCP: Off
Link speed and duplex level: Auto detected
If you use an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network administrator can
provide you with a unique IP address for the PC1 or confirm whether you need to
set up the PC1 for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration protocol) to have an
address assigned automatically.
