Introduction to IP Addresses

IP Address Setup via Serial Port

IP Address Setup via Ethernet

When connecting systems via Ethernet, the setup of communications parameters is automatic. However, because this is a network connection, a unique address (known as the IP address) is required.

For proper operation, Quadra requires a fixed IP address (also known as a

static” IP address). At the factory, Quadra is programmed with a default IP address (192.168.1.200), but this address must be changed if you want to use your Quadra on a network.

Important

Consult your network administrator to obtain a valid IP

 

address before commencing the network setup procedure.

 

 

ΣRecommendation: If you want to use Quadra on a Local Area Network (LAN), change the unit’s IP address before putting it on the network. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

~Use the serial port to change the unit’s IP address. Refer to the “IP Address Setup via Serial Port” section below.

~Connect Quadra directly to a PC using Quadra’s Ethernet port. Refer to the “IP Address Setup via Ethernet” section for details.

Use the following steps to change Quadra’s IP address using the serial port:

1.Connect Quadra as outlined in the RS-232 Serial Control Setup” section in Chapter 2.

2.In the Hyperterminal window, type:

IPADDR

... and press Enter.

Quadra responds with the current IP address. Make a note of the address before proceeding with the next step.

3.Type IPADDR followed by a space, and the new IP address (as provided to you by your network administrator).

ΣExample: If the new IP address is 192.168.100.15, type:

IPADDR 192.168.100.15

... and press Enter.
