Setup the IP Address
To set up the IP address:
1.
Verify that an active 10/100BaseT cable is connected to the ERM’s
network connector.
2.
If the IP address of the computer is on the same network with the
ERM, you can run the Web browser directly; continue to the
following section, “Configure the ERM.” Otherwise, continue to
the following step.
NOTE
The default IP address of the ERM is 172.17.XXX.ZZZ where XXX and ZZZ is the last
two pairs of the MAC address of the ERM in decimal.
3.
If the IP address of the computer is not on the same network with
the ERM, use a cross-over cable (not supplied) to set up the
computer’s TCP/IP protocol parameters temporarily to the
172.17.XXX.(YYY+1) subnet.
NOTE
Refer to the operating system documentation for additional details on changing the
computer’s IP address.
NOTE
The computer and the ERM must be on the same subnet for configuration. You can
change the ERM’s IP address to match your local subnet during configuration.
Configure through a Web Browser
To configure the ERM through a Web browser:
1.
Run the Web browser.
2.
Enter the URL
http:\\172.17.
XXX.ZZZ
in the address box (where
XXX
and
ZZZ
is the last two pairs of the MAC address of the ERM in
decimal). The ERM home page displays (see Figure 19).
