7.Set up the PCS4 IP address (see “Configuring the IPL T PCS4 using a web browser,” later in this section, for the procedure).

After the PCS4 has been reconfigured, an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection can subsequently be used to configure or control it.

NOTE: Both your computer and the PCS4 must be connected to the same LAN.

Alternatively, you may use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the interface directly to your computer Ethernet card.

8.After setting the PCS4 IP address, restore the previous IP configuration of the computer by following steps 1, 2, 3, and 5 but using the original IP address settings that you wrote down in step 4.

Configuring the IPL T PCS4 using a web browser

The default web pages that are preloaded on the PCS4 are compatible with popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher).

NOTE: The following instructions assume that you have already configured the

Windows-based computer, connected it to the PCS4 LAN port, and powered on

the interface.

1.Obtain a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the PCS4 from your network administrator.

2.Launch a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) on the connected computer (for which you set up the network configuration earlier), and enter the PCS4 default address, http://192.168.254.254, in the address box. The PCS4 default web page is displayed.

3.Select the Configuration tab, then select System Settings from the side bar menu on the left of the screen. A configuration System Settings web page appears. A typical settings screen is shown below.
