IP ADDRESSES
When connecting systems via Ethernet, the setup of communications
parameters is automatic. However, because this is a network connection, a
unique address (known as the IP address) is required.
For proper operation, Quadra requires a fixed IP address (also known as a
“static” IP address). At the factory, Quadra is programmed with a default IP
address (
192.168.1.200
), but this address must be changed if you want to use
your Quadra on a network.
S
Recommendation
: If you want to use Quadra on a Local Area
Network (LAN), change the unit’s IP address before putting it on the
network. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
~
Use the serial port to change the unit’s IP address. Refer to
the “
IP Address Setup via Serial Port
” section below.
~
Connect Quadra directly to a PC using Quadra’s Ethernet
port. Refer to the “
” section
for details.

VIA SERIAL PORT
Use the following steps to change Quadra’s IP address using the serial port:
1.
Connect Quadra as outlined in the “
section in Chapter 2.
2.
In the Hyperterminal window, type:
IPADDR
... and press
Enter
.
Quadra responds with the current IP address. Make a note of the
address before proceeding with the next step.
3.
Type
IPADDR
followed by a space, and the new IP address (as
provided to you by your network administrator).
S
Example
: If the new IP address is
192.168.100.15
, type:
IPADDR 192.168.100.15
... and press
Enter
.
Important
Consult your network administrator to obtain a valid IP
address before commencing the network setup procedure.
