device. The LAN IP address is changed through the web interface. If you have a computer on your LAN that is using Windows 95 or later, you can also use the Diva Assistant.

Diva Assistant The Diva Assistant (for Windows 95 or later) can detect the Diva 2430 over a LAN and can change the LAN IP address for you, without having to change your own IP address settings. Follow these steps:

1.Connect the Diva 2430 to your LAN using a straight-through cable (sold separately).

2.Install the Diva Assistant (see Optional: Install the Diva Assistant on page 18).

3.Restart your computer.

4.Right-click on the Diva Assistant icon that appears in the system tray.

5.Select ‘Network Wizard’ and follow the onscreen instructions.

Web Interface For all computers, you can also use the web interface to change the LAN IP setting.

1.Temporarily change the TCP/IP settings on your computer so that it is set to the IP address 192.168.l.2.

2.Access the web interface (see Starting the Web-based Configuration Interface on page 41).

3.Click ‘System Settings’.

4.Enter a new IP address in the ‘LAN IP Address’ field.

5.Click ‘Save’.

Note: Once you click ‘Save’, you will lose contact with the device. This is normal.

6.Return your TCP/IP settings back to the way their original state.

7.To re-access the web interface, click ‘File’, ‘Open’ in your web browser, then enter the new IP address.

Your computer must be on the same subnet as the Diva 2430 in order to communicate through TCP/IP. For example, if the new device IP address is 192.100.1.1, your computer must be set to 192.100.1.x, with x being any number from two to 255.

However, if your computer is set to acquire its IP address dynamically from a DHCP server, you need only restart your computer (or reset the IP address manually using ‘winipcfg’ with Windows 9x or ‘ipconfig/renew’ for Windows 2000/NT). The Diva 2430 will assign the new address.
