Eicon Networks 2440 manual General Setup Procedure, Built-in Dhcp Server, IP Addressing

General Setup Procedure

The following is a general guideline for the setup procedure you must follow when setting up the device on a LAN.

1.Connect the Diva 2440 to the hub on your LAN.

2.Contact the Diva 2440 using a computer on your LAN as described in Step 2: Access the Diva 2440 Web Interface on page 18. If you are using Windows, this is more easily done with the Diva Assistant (see Using the Diva Assistant to set on a LAN).

Note: If you cannot contact the device over a LAN, use a single non-networked computer for initial configuration, with the yellow Ethernet cable.

3.Complete the Internet Wizard as described in Step 3: Complete the Internet Wizard on page 19, then verify that the Internet is accessible from the required machines.

4.Adjust other LAN settings, such as those on a router or on the Diva 2440 itself.

Built-in DHCP Server

The Diva 2440 has a built-in DHCP server. When you drop the Diva 2440 into a LAN, the Diva 2440 senses if another DHCP server exists and de-activates its own DHCP services. To re-activate the DHCP server, disable the other server, then press the Reset button.

Using the Diva Assistant to set on a LAN

The default LAN IP address for the Diva 2440 is 192.168.1.1. Normally, in order to contact the Diva 2440 through TCP/IP, your computer’s IP address must be on the same subnet as the device. For example, your computer could be set to 192.168.1.2.

If at least once computer on your LAN uses Windows, install the Diva Assistant on that computer and use it to contact and configure the Diva 2440. The Network Wizard, a feature of the Diva Assistant, will contact the Diva 2440 over a network, without having to change the computer’s TCP/IP settings.

To use the Network Wizard, right-click on the Diva Assistant icon in the system tray and select ‘Network Wizard’. Once the Diva Assistant has discovered the Diva 2440, you will be asked if you want to change its IP address.

IP Addressing

If your LAN uses static IP addressing, or if you are using an existing DHCP server, you must assign the Diva 2440 a unique IP address. To change this setting, access the web interface, click ‘Advanced Configuration’, click ‘System Settings’, enter a new IP address in the ‘LAN IP Address’ field, then click ‘Save’.

LAN IP address

Note: This step is done automatically if the Diva Assistant is used.

Once you click ‘Save’, you will lose contact with the device. To re-access the web interface, click ‘File’, ‘Open’ in your web browser, then enter the new IP address. You may need to change the TCP/IP settings on your computer before being able to access the Diva 2440 after the IP address has been changed.
