Configuring the GSS using a direct PC connection

This type of connection is used to initially connect to and configure the GSS. The default settings of the GSS (IP address, subnet mask, and optional administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the GSS on an intranet (LAN) or the Internet (WAN).

1.Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet crossover cable into the rear panel LAN port on the GSS. See “Cabling” and “RJ-45 connector wiring” in the Installation section to make a cable.

2.Plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable into the Ethernet port on your PC.

3.Right-click the Network Neighborhood or My Network icon on your Windows (98, 2000, NT, ME, or XP) desktop and select Properties from the menu.

(If you are using Windows 2000, right-click Local Area Connection and select

Properties from the menu, select Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] from the list, and then click Properties again.)

NOTE: If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not available or is not on the list, you need to

install it. Refer to your Windows user manual or the online Help system for

your computer for information on installing the TCP/IP protocol.

5.Note the current IP address and subnet mask of the GSS in the space below: If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically,” note that instead.

IP address:_____________________________________

Subnet mask:___________________________________

6.Depending on your operating system, click either Specify an IP address or Use the following IP address.

a.Leave the default gateway blank.

b.Enter the following IP and subnet mask values:

IP address:

7.Save the changes and exit the Network setup. Reboot the PC for the changes to become effective.

8.Launch web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla® Firefox®) on your PC.

a.In the address field, enter: http://192.168.254.254/index.html

The GSS displays the default startup page.
