To log on to the Matrix 12800, the FPC 5000’s IP address and Subnet Mask fields must be set to values that identify them as being on the same subnet as the Matrix 12800 BME 0. See Subnetting — A Primer at the end of this chapter.

In general, you probably do not need to edit these fields if:

°the FPC is connected directly to the Matrix 12800 via a crossover cable or you have already successfully logged on to the Matrix 12800, either directly or via an Ethernet LAN, and

°no changes have been made to the FPC’s and the Matrix 12800’s IP addresses and subnet masks.

In general, you may need to edit these fields if:

°the FPC is connected to the Matrix 12800 via an Ethernet LAN, and

°you have not already successfully logged on to the Matrix 12800.

5. Change the FPC’s IP address and Subnet Mask field as follows:

a. Touch the Touch to change FPC’s IP address/network config banner in the IP Connection screen (figure 3-5). The FPC 5000 TCP/IP Properties screen appears (figure 3-6).

Figure 3-6 — FPC 5000 TCP/IP Properties screen

On this screen, you can direct the FPC 5000 to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable), reenter the factory defaults, or directly enter an IP address and subnet mask value.

Before any of the of the FPC 5000 properties change, the OK button is grayed out (not available) and a Close button replaces the Cancel button. If you decide to dismiss the FPC 5000 TCP/IP screen without changing any properties, touch the Close button and proceed to step 6.

b. Consult with your network administrator to determine the IP address and subnet mask values or if the FPC should obtain its IP address from a DHCP server.

c. To manually enter FPC IP settings, see if the Specify an IP address radio button is selected (). To change the setting, use a pencil eraser or other small, soft, object to touch the Specify an IP address radio button.
