Reset the IAD as described below (“Resetting the IAD”) for the new IP
address to be in effect.
NOTICE:
When you configure the IAD, you must restart the IAD each time you
change the settings for those changes to take effect. You may make
several configuration changes before resetting
.
If you plan to use Telnet for configuration tasks (Connecting via Telnet on
page 2-9), this is a good time to disconnect the serial cable from the PC and
IAD.
Setting the WAN Port IP Address
To set the WAN port IP address, follow the same procedures as those listed in
Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address on page 2-6.
Resetting the IAD
Many configuration tasks require that you reset (or restart) the IAD before the
new settings or configuration will take effect. When you use the menu
interface (or the Command Line Interface - Chapter 6, “Command Line
Interface”) to make changes, or change the physical characteristics of the IAD
(such as the Ethernet port MAC address), you must reset the IAD.
