On the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, change your computer’s IP address temporarily so that it can communicate with the PC1: a. Select the “Use the following IP address:” radio button. b. Enter the following values as shown on the next page: IP address: 192.168.254.253 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 Default gateway: Blank or 0.0.0.0 (The temporary IP address differs from the PC1’s factory default by one digit.) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window for Windows XP c. Click OK to save the changes, and exit the network setup. d. Reboot the PC, if required for the changes to become effective. 6. Plug one end of a Category 5 network/Ethernet crossover cable into the Ethernet (LAN) connector on the PC1 rear panel.

IPL T PC1 Ethernet Configuration and Control If you are using a network hub or switch between the PC and the PC1, use a straight-through Category 5 cable instead of a crossover cable.

7. Set up the PC1’s IP address. See “Configuring the IPL T PC1 using a Web browser,” below, for the procedure. Once the PC1 has been reconfigured, you can subsequently use an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection to configure or control it. Both your computer and the PC1 must be connected to the same LAN. Configuring the IPL T PC1 using a Web browser The default Web pages that are preloaded on the PC1 are compatible with popular Web browsers such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher). The following instructions assume that you have configured the Windowsbased PC, connected it to the PC1’s LAN port, and powered on the interface. 1. Obtain a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the PC1 from your network administrator. 2. Launch a Web browser (such as Internet Explorer) on the connected PC (for which you set up the network configuration earlier), and enter the PC1’s default address, http://192.168.254.254, in the address box. The PC1’s default Web page is displayed. 3. Select the Configuration tab, then select System Settings from the side bar menu on the left of the screen.
