38Chapter 5 Initializing the CallPilot Mini/CallPilot 150

Changing the IP address using an Ethernet crossover cable

Using an Ethernet crossover cable, you can connect the CallPilot Mini/CallPilot 150 to your computer. With this connection, you can use CallPilot Manager to change the CallPilot Mini/ CallPilot 150 IP address before you connect it to the network.

Note: If you do not have access to the CallPilot Mini/CallPilot 150 through the network, you can use an Ethernet crossover cable to configure all of the CallPilot Mini/CallPilot 150 parameters.

To use an Ethernet crossover cable, your computer must be equipped with a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card and support TCP/IP protocol. Figure 5 shows the connections required.
