Chapter 3: Installing the VCode<br />

About manually setting the VCode’s IP address<br />
Introduction<br />
This topic gives an overview of the process used to manually set the<br />
VCode’s IP address. Do not confuse this process with manually setting<br />
the computer network card’s IP address.<br />
To learn how this topic fits into the overall process of setting up an<br />
Ethernet network, see “Ethernet networking workflows” on page 39.<br />
Why do this<br />
The VCode is set up at the factory to work with an Ethernet network that<br />
automatically assigns IP addresses. If you plan to use Ethernet to<br />
connect to the VCode but do not want to set up DHCP server software to<br />
automatically assign the VCode’s IP address, you will need to<br />
reconfigure the VCode’s firmware to assign an IP address manually.<br />
Process overview<br />
Even though your goal is to set up an Ethernet connection, the only way<br />
to change the VCode’s IP address is to temporarily connect to the VCode<br />
with a serial cable. The overall process is:<br />
1. Physically connect a serial cable between the computer and the<br />
VCode.<br />
2. Use HyperTerminal to open a communication connection to the<br />
VCode.<br />
3. Change the IP address of the VCode in the firmware’s user interface.<br />
4. Disconnect the serial cable.<br />
5. Set up the Ethernet network.<br />
