SMC Networks SMC2582W-B manual Changing the TCP/IP Settings of the Managing Computer

Fig. 4. Connecting a managing computer and an SMC2582W-B via Ethernet.

You can use either a cross-over Ethernet cable (included in the package) or a switch/hub with 2 nor- mal Ethernet cables.

NOTE: One connector of the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the LAN/CONFIG Ethernet jack of the SMC2582W-B for configuration.

2.3.2. Changing the TCP/IP Settings of the Managing Computer

Use the Windows Network Control Panel Applet to change the TCP/IP settings of the managing computer, so that the IP address of the computer and the IP address of the SMC2582W-B are in the same IP subnet. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.2.xxx (the default IP address of the SMC2582W-B is 192.168.2.50) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

TIP: You can use SMC2582W-B Configuration Utility on the companion CD-ROM to scan for all the SMC2582W-Bs on the network. Double-click a scanned SMC2582W-B to launch the Web browser to manage the SMC2582W-B. Note that this utility does not discover the SMC2682W.

NOTE: On Windows 2000/XP, SMC2582W-B Configuration Utility can only be run by a user with administrator privilege.

NOTE: For some versions of Windows, the computer needs to be restarted for the changes of TCP/IP settings to take effect.
