Manually setting the VCode’s IP address
Introduction
This topic describes how to set the IP address of the VCode manually.
You would do this only if you are using an Ethernet connection to the
VCode and you are setting up a network that does not use a DHCP server
to automatically assign IP addresses.
The topic also tells you what to do if your VCode currently has a
manually assigned IP address and you want to convert it to an
automatically assigned address.
To learn how this topic fits into the overall process of setting up an
Ethernet network, see “Ethernet networking workflows” on page 39.
Before you start
Before you can manually set the VCode’s IP address, you must connect
to the VCode following the directions in “Connecting to the VCode with
HyperTerminal” on page 48.
Manually assigning
the IP address
To manually assign the IP address:
1. With the HyperTerminal screen blank, press ENTER.
The diagnostics screen for the VCode’s microprocessor opens
showing configuration information for it’s firmware. This diagnostics
is not the same as VCode Diagnostics.
