6. If you have chosen to use the static IP reset feature of the SnapGear appliance,

choose an address in the range:

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 (192.168.0/24 prefix)

Enter the value into the IP Address field followed by a number (1-254) to identify
your PC (e.g. 192.168.0.2). You may have to reboot at this point.

7. Connect the SnapGear appliance and the PC to the hub and continue with the

following steps.

Note

Your SnapGear appliance ships with a Windows installation program called the
SnapGear Setup Wizard. If you are using statically pre-assigned IP addresses on your
network (i.e. there is a static network with no active DHCP server), the Setup Wizard will
help assign an IP address to the SnapGear appliance.

On DHCP enabled (i.e. dynamic) networks, or if you have performed a static IP reset,
the Setup Wizard will locate the IP address assigned to your SnapGear appliance. The
Setup Wizard will also provide the option to change the SnapGear appliance
administrative password.

You can run the Setup Wizard from any PC on the network running Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows NT 4 or Windows 95/98.

If you are using Windows 95 you must have the MS Dial Up Networking 1.3 update
(msdun13.exe) installed.

If you are using an early version of Windows 95 (i.e. pre-OSR2), you must install the
Winsock 2.0 update (w95w2setup.exe). If you are using Windows NT, Windows 2000,
or Windows XP Professional you must be logged in as
administrator to run the Setup
Wizard.
