3 Ethernet Network Configuration

3.1 Linking Device IP address Configuration

The Linking Device is delivered with a pre-configured IP address 192.168.177.177. It must be assigned an IP address from your LAN address range. Furthermore, subnet mask and gateway IP address must be set.

To configure the Linking Device a private network between a PC and the Linking Device must first be established. This can be done with a PC dedicated to the Linking Device or a PC used for another purpose can be temporarily configured for the task. If a PC from another network is used, carefully record the current IP address and other settings so the PC can be returned to its original network when configuration of the Linking Device is finished. If using a PC attached to another network, shut down the PC and remove it from the network before proceeding to set up the Linking Device private network.

Please see the chapter <Configuration><Internet Protocol> and follow the instruction for the IP configuration in the Linking Device.

3.2 PC IP address Configuration

To install a private network on your PC please press the Microsoft Windows <Start> button and choose <Control Panel><Network and Dial-up Connections>. The following screen appears.
