With Your PC

This section gives guidelines to configure the E5810 on a Local network. This section applies if you plan to configure the E5810 for eventual installation on a non-DHCP Enterprise network or plan to configure the E5810 for eventual use on the Local network.

NOTE

When configuring the E5810, we recommend you change the default IP address to a unique IP address for each E5810 being added to the system. Otherwise, since the E5810 detects duplicate IP addresses, some E5810s added to the system may not operate. See Chapter 3 - Using E5810 Web Access for details on setting E5810 parameters.

Whether your Local network includes a hub/switch or a crossover cable, the first step in configuring the E5810 is to establish communication between your PC and the E5810. To do this, the PC and the E5810 must be on the same subnet.

One way to put the PC and the E5810 on the same subnet is to use route add <E5810 IP Address> <PC IP Address> from the MS-DOS prompt. For example, if IP address of your PC is 155.139.103.152 and the E5810 IP address is 169.254.58.10 (the default), use one of the following:

!route is lost when the PC is rebooted route add 169.254.58.10 155.139.103.152

or

!route persists when the PC is rebooted

route -p add 169.254.58.10 155.139.103.152

After communication has been established, you can set any required configuration parameters for the E5810 by using the E5810 Web access.
