IP Address Determination
If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the
IP8000 in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are two
methods to choose from: 1) Resetting Your Computer Address; and 2) running
the Windows Client program.
The first method is useful for determining the IP value of devices with fixed
addresses. The Windows Client method is good for determining the IP value of
devices with either fixed or DHCP derived IP addresses. With either method
your computer must be on the same network segment as the IP8000.
Note: The Windows Client method is especially useful if the device’s DHCP
assigned address changes.
After you have connected and logged in to the IP8000, you can give it a fixed
network address in the Network Settings dialog box (see page 19).
Resetting Your Computer Address
For non-Windows computers, a browser based method for setting the IP8000’s
IP address is available. It is based on the fact that when the IP8000 starts, if it
doesn't find a DHCP environment after 30 seconds, it automatically sets its IP
address to 192.168.0.60. To set the IP8000’s address with this method, do the
following:
1. Set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.XXX
Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 60.
2. Specify the switch's default IP address (192.168.0.60) in the URL entry
box of your browser.
3. After you connect and log in, click the Network icon (see page 19) to
assign a fixed IP address for the IP8000 that is suitable for the network
segment that it resides on.
4. After you log out, be sure to reset your computer's IP address to its original
value.
