If you don't have the ability to change the IP address of your host
computer, you could change the IP address of the board to match the
subnet of the host computer. For example, if your computer's IP address
is 1.2.3.4, then you could assign the address 1.2.3.5 to your board. To
change the board IP address, follow the steps in

“Static IP Address” on

page C–3

.

Every time you reset the board, the web server will attempt to obtain an
IP address via DHCP, which takes two minutes to time out. You can abort
the DHCP process, or disable DHCP entirely by using the steps in

“Static

IP Address” on page C–3

.

Browsing Your
Board

Once your board has a valid IP address (obtained from either DHCP self-
configuration or from flash memory), you can access the board via a web
browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer). To browse this site, open a
web browser and type the IP address of the board (four numbers
separated by decimal-points) as a URL directly into the browser’s
Address

input field. You can determine your board’s IP address by

reading the messages displayed on the LCD screen (the IP address is
continuously displayed).
