6. Execute a ping command using the GSS’s new IP address as follows:

C:\> ping 10.13.170.15 {Enter}

After you send this command, the GSS changes to to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests (figure 5-1). The GSS’s IP address is updated to the new address and you can reconnect using either Telnet or the Web to verify that the update was successful.

C:\>ping 10.13.170.15

7. After the GSS responds to the ping command, issue the arp -d command at the DOS prompt to remove the IP address that you specified in step 5 from the ARP:

C:\> arp -d {IP address} {Enter} (to remove the stated IP address)

or

c:\> arp -d* {Enter} (to remove all static IP addresses)

Configuring the GSS using a direct PC connection

This type of connection is used to initially connect to and configure the GSS. The GSS’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and optional administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the GSS on an intranet (LAN) on the Internet (WAN).

1.	Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet crossover cable into the
	rear panel LAN port on the GSS. See Cabling and RJ-45
	connector wiring in chapter 2, Installation to make a cable.
2.	Plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable into the Ethernet
	port on your PC.

3.	Right-click the Network Neighborhood or My Network
	icon on your Windows (98, 2000, NT, ME, or XP) desktop
	and select Properties from the menu.
4.	Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click
	Properties.

(If you are using Windows 2000, right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties from the menu, select Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] from the list, and then click Properties again.)

NIf Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not available or is not on the list, it must be installed. Refer to your Windows user’s manual or your computer’s online Help system for information on installing the TCP/IP protocol.

5.	Note the GSS’s current IP address and subnet mask below:
	If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically,”
	note that instead.
	IP address:_____________________________________
	Subnet mask:___________________________________
6.	Depending on your operating system, click either
	“Specify an IP address” or “Use the following IP address,“.
	a.	Leave the default gateway blank.
	b.	Enter the following IP and subnet mask values:
		IP address:	192.168.254.253
		Subnet mask:	255.255.0.0
7.	Save the changes and exit the Network setup. Reboot the
	PC for the changes to become effective.
8.	Launch your PC’s Web browser (Netscape Navigator or
	Internet Explorer).
	a.	In the browser’s address field, enter:
		http://192.168.254.254/index.html
		The GSS displays the default startup page.
	b.	Configure the GSS (see the remainder of this chapter
		for configuring the GSS).
9.	After configuring the GSS, repeat steps 3 and 4, changing
	your TCP/IP settings back to their original configuration.
