Installing and Configuring the
Module
2.1
Before You Begin . . .
Quantum Ethernet web embedded server modules come fully configured. They are
designed to go straight from the box to the backplane. But before you install your
module, you must verify that:
z
the default configuration is appropriate for your network
z
your Ethernet network is properly constructed
2.1.1
Verifying the Default Configuration
You should change the default configuration before installing the module:
z
if the module will be communicating on an open network
z
if the module’s derived IP network address is already in use on your network
z
if the network uses IEEE 802.3 framing
z
if you need to specify the default Ethernet gateway and subnet mask
CAUTION
DUPLICATE ADDRESS HAZARD
The default configuration includes the IP network address. Do not connect this module to
your network until you have ensured that its IP address will be unique on the network.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage.
