Installing the E5810A
Configuring the E5810A on a Local Network
Configuring the E5810A for Local Network
Operation
This section gives guidelines to configure the E5810 on a Local network.
This section applies if you plan to configure the E5810 for eventual
installation on a non-DHCP Enterprise network or plan to configure the
E5810 for eventual use on the Local network.
Establishing
Communication
With Your PC
Whether your Local network includes a hub/switch or a crossover cable, the
first step in configuring the E5810 is to establish communication between
your PC and the E5810. To do this, the PC and the E5810 must be on the
same subnet.
One way to put the PC and the E5810 on the same subnet is to use
route add <E5810 IP Address> <PC IP Address>
from the
MS-DOS prompt. For example, if IP address of your PC is 155.139.103.152
and the E5810 IP address is 169.254.58.10 (the default), use one of the
following:
! route is lost when the PC is rebooted
route add 169.254.58.10 155.139.103.152
or
! route persists when the PC is rebooted
route -p add 169.254.58.10 155.139.103.152
After communication has been established, you can set any required
configuration parameters for the E5810 by using the E5810 Web access.
NOTE
When configuring the E5810, we recommend you change the default IP
address to a unique IP address for each E5810 being added to the
system. Otherwise, since the E5810 detects duplicate IP addresses,
some E5810s added to the system may not operate. See
Chapter 3 ,
“Using E5810A Web Access” for details on setting E5810 parameters.
