4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network

Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.

The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.

With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to a Web browser and type in http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s main web page.

Select Access Control , button, you’ll be asked for the password. The default LOGIN password is "12345678" and the ADMINISTRATOR password is "00000000", then you should be on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP address, and click Save.

For the IP address to take effect, the iServer needs to be turned OFF/ON. Clicking the “Power Recycle” button will turn the iServer OFF and ON. Pressing the physical button marked “RESET” on the iServer does the same thing.

You can now connect the iServer to an Ethernet hub using a straight through cable, power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.
