IpLink 2884/2888 Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration

To access the IpLink, start the Telnet application. Type the default IP address for the router into the address

ﬁeld: 192.168.200.10. Accessing your IpLink via a Telnet session displays the login screen. Type the factory

default login: admin and password: <blank>.

You can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0 (LAN). Within this example a network

192.168.1.1/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 192.168.1.1 (you should set this

the IP address given to you by your network provider).

Trinity# configure

Trinity[config]# interface ethernet eth0

Trinity[eth-eth0]# no ip address 192.168.200.10

Trinity[eth-eth0]# ip address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Copy this modiﬁed conﬁguration to your new start-up conﬁguration. This will store your changes in non-vol-

atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modiﬁed conﬁguration.

The IpLink can now be connected to your network.

3. Connecting the IpLink to the network

In general, the IpLink will connect to the network via the LAN (ETH 0) port. This enables the IpLink to offer

routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 1) port. The IpLink 2884/2888 Series is equipped with Auto-

MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections.

You can check the connection with the ping command from the IpLink to another host on the network.

Trinity#ping <IP Address of the host>

Note If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local

LAN you must ﬁrst conﬁgure the default gateway.
