Configuring the IPL for network use via SIS ™ commands and
Telnet
The IPL and the PC must both be part of the same subnet before they can
communicate via the LAN port. You must change the PC’s IP address to one that is
on the same subnet as the default IP address of the IPL 250 (192.168.254.254).
N This method requires connecting the IPL to the PC’s LAN port using a crossover
network cable. See page 2-6 for cabling details.
N Make a note of the host PC's TCP/IP configuration before changing its IP
address and make sure the PC and IPL are on the same subnet.
1. Temporarily change the host PC’s IP address. See “Setting up the PC for
IP communication with an IPL 250” on the next page for step-by-step
instructions.
2. Start Telnet on the PC
a.
Click the Start menu and select Run. The Run dialog box appears.
b. Type telnet, a space, and the default IP address (192.168.254.254) into
