Configuring the IPL T CR48 using direct PC connection

This type of connection is used initially to connect to and configure the IPL T CR48 unit. The unit’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and (optional) administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet (WAN).

1.Plug one end of a CAT 5, crossover Ethernet cable into the rear panel Ethernet connector on the IPL T CR48 unit. Refer to figure 2-6 for RJ-45 connector wiring.

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

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

4.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list then select Properties. (If you are using Windows 2000, right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties from the menu, then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and select Properties again.) If Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP) is not on the list, it must be added (installed). Refer to your Windows user’s manual or the online Help system for information on how to install the TCP/IP protocol.

5.Write down your current IP address and Subnet Mask below. If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically,” make a note of that, instead.

IP Address:

Subnet Mask:

6.Click “Specify an IP address” or “Use the following IP address” (depending on your operating system), and leave the default gateway blank. Enter the following 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, if required, for the changes to become effective.

8.Launch your Web browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer), and type “http://192.168.254.254/ index.html” in the browser’s Address field. The IPL T CR48 default Web page is displayed. Refer to “IPL T CR48 configuration,” in this chapter, for information on configuring your unit.
