QUICK START GUIDE

In this example the switch that the computer is connected to is a Multilink ML1600.

The instruction manual for the MultiLink provides a list of all instructions. A valid IP address and subnet mask can be programmed into the switch using the IP config command as follows:

ZType ipconfig ip=, then enter the IP address (in our example we will use a unique address between 3.94.244.1 and 3.94.244.254), followed by a space.

ZType mask=

ZEnter the mask (in our example system we would use 255.255.252.0).

ZIf a default gateway is also required enter a space and type dgw=

ZEnter the ip address of the gateway.
