6. Execute a ping command using the GSS’s new IP address as follows:
C:\> ping 10.13.170.15 {Enter}
After you send this command, the GSS changes to to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests (figure
C:\>ping 10.13.170.15

Configuring the GSS using a direct PC connection
This type of connection is used to initially connect to and configure the GSS. The GSS’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and optional administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the GSS on an intranet (LAN) on 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 |
| connector wiring in chapter 2, Installation to make a cable. |
2. | Plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable into the Ethernet |
| port on your PC. |
3. | |
| icon on your Windows (98, 2000, NT, ME, or XP) desktop |
| and select Properties from the menu. |
4. | Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click |
| Properties. |
(If you are using Windows 2000,
NIf Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not available or is not on the list, it must be installed. Refer to your Windows user’s manual or your computer’s online Help system for information on installing the TCP/IP protocol.
5. | Note the GSS’s current IP address and subnet mask 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: | 192.168.254.253 |
|
| Subnet mask: | 255.255.0.0 |
7. | Save the changes and exit the Network setup. Reboot the | ||
| PC for the changes to become effective. | ||
8. | Launch your PC’s Web browser (Netscape Navigator or | ||
| Internet Explorer). |
| |
| a. | In the browser’s address field, enter: | |
|
| http://192.168.254.254/index.html | |
|
| The GSS displays the default startup page. | |
| b. | Configure the GSS (see the remainder of this chapter | |
|
| for configuring the GSS). | |
9. | After configuring the GSS, repeat steps 3 and 4, changing | ||
| your TCP/IP settings back to their original configuration. |
