IMS-1000. You should now be able to access the following configuration page of the IMS-1000.
Point your browser at the following URL:
http://192.168.1.250/config.asp
Proceed to the Network Configuration section below.
3) Using a network switch that is configured for DHCP server connect both your IMS-1000 and
your computer to the switch. Power cycle your IMS-1000. While your IMS-1000 is rebooting, con-
figure your network connection for using DHCP. Once the IMS-1000 has rebooted it should have
acquired an IP from the switch’s DHCP server. Log into your switch and see what the IP the switch
gave to the IMS-1000. You should now be able to access the following configuration page of the
IMS-1000. Point your browser at the following URL where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP the switch
DHCP server gave your IMS-1000:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/config.asp
Proceed to the Network Configuration section below. If you were unable to connect to the above
URL you may need to modify the settings of the switch you are using.
Network Configuration:
The network configuration login page will be displayed. The default password is “ims1k”. Click
“Login” and the Network Configuration page will be loaded. Enter a static IP address for your
IMS-1000 and complete the remaining network parameters. Be sure to click “Save” when done to
store all the modified settings. You can now connect your IMS-1000 to your network.
Parameter Descriptions
MAC Address: This is the Media Access Control address which, in general terms, is the hardware
address for the IMS-1000 Ethernet port. There is a unique address for all network devices.
DHCP Status: Enabling this option means that the IMS-1000 will automatically obtain an IP
address on the network using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Disabling this option
means that you will have to configure the network parameters manually.
IP/Host: This is the entry field for manually configuring the IP address of the IMS-1000 on your
network. This address is provided by you or your network administrator. It is formatted as a stan-
dard dotted decimal number.
Netmask: This is the subnet mask which distinguishes the portion of the IP address that is the net-
work ID from the portion that is the station ID.
DNS: The DNS server is used to translate site names into actual numeric network addresses. Enter
the IP address of the DNS server for your network.
Gateway: A TCP/IP network must have a gateway to communicate beyond the LAN identified by
the network ID. A gateway is a computer or router that is connected to two different networks and
can move TCP/IP data from one to the other. If your TCP/IP network has more than one LAN or
if you are connecting to the Internet, you will need to know the IP address of the gateway that will
transfer TCP/IP data in and out of your LAN. A single LAN that is not connected to other LANs
does not require a gateway setting.
