Falcon manual Set the F3400/F1000’s IP Address using a Web Browser

2 Getting Started

2.3.1.4 Troubleshooting the ARP/PING Commands

If problems are encountered, it may be for one of the following reasons:

The F3400/F1000 already has a non-default TCP/IP address. Once the IP address of the F3400/F1000 has been changed from the default of 10.0.0.186, it is not possible to change it again with the ARP/PING commands. This method of setting up the F3400/F1000's IP address can only be used on a F3400/F1000 that still has its original default IP address, as shipped from the manufacturer.

The device is not on the same Class C subnet as the computer from which the ARP/PING commands were sent. The F3400/F1000's default router and net mask must be changed via a Web browser pointed at the F3400/F1000's default IP address (i.e., http://10.0.0.186) or via a direct EIA232 terminal connection to the F3400/F1000-both of which are alternate methods for setting up the F3400/F1000's IP address.

2.3.2Set the F3400/F1000’s IP Address using a Web Browser

1Plug a crossover network cable into the laptop or workstation that will be used to configure the F3400/F1000. This cable is not intended to be connected to a network hub.

2Write down the computer's IP address and Subnet Mask. Then change the IP address and Subnet Mask of the computer from its existing address to one that will allow it to communicate with the F3400/F1000, such as 10.0.0.188. It may be helpful to set the IP address to one that is one number different from the F3400/F1000's IP address. Consult the computer's manual or your IT Department before attempting this.

3Connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the F3400/ F1000. Access the F3400/F1000 through a Web browser by typing the IP address into the location bar. Enter the F3400/F1000 user name and password when prompted.

Note The default user name is “falcon” and there is no default password—leave the password field empty.

4Select the Configuration link, then select the Internet Protocol link and change the IP Address, Net Mask, and Def Route to one provided by the network administrator. Press the Submit Changes button. The F3400/F1000 will save the new IP address and reboot. Once the F3400/F1000 reboots completely, the system status LED will stop flashing.

55Change the IP address of the computer back to its original IP address. If the computer was configured as DHCP (the network domain controller assigns an IP address) return it to this state. This may require assistance from your IT Department, or you may need to consult the computer's manual.

66The computer and the F3400/F1000 are now both configured to communicate on the network. Both should be accessible via the network. Connect the PC and the F3400/F1000 to the network. From the PC Web browser, type in the IP address of the F3400/F1000. Enter the user name and password.

Note The default user name is “falcon” and there is no default password - leave the password field empty.
