3.1.1 Set the IP Address Using a Web Browser
Unless you are familiar with setting the IP address, consult your IT department
before attempting this procedure.
To use a Web browser to set the Protocol Converter's IP address:
1. Plug a crossover network cable into the laptop or workstation that will be used to configure the Protocol Converter.
2. Write down the computer's current IP address and Subnet Mask.
IMPORTANT: You will need to change the computer's IP address and Subnet Mask back to the original settings after
changing the IP address and Subnet Mask for the Protocol Converter.
3. Change the IP address and Subnet Mask of the computer from its existing address to one that will allow it to communicate
with the Protocol Converter, such as 10.0.0.180.
NOTE: It may be beneficial to set the IP address to one that is one number different from the Protocol Converter's IP address.
Consult the computer's manual or your IT department before attempting this procedure.
4. Connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Protocol Converter.
5. Access the Protocol Converter through a Web browser by typing the IP address (10.0.0.188) into the location bar.
