4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network
Besides using the iConnect software, you may use the Meter’s default IP
address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.
The Meter is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask
of 255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP
address that is in the same range as the Meter’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and
connect to the Meter using a crossover network cable between your PC and the
Meter.
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If
you receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to the Web browser and
type in http://192.168.1.200
and it will take you to the Wireless System’ Home
Page.
Select button, you’ll be asked for the password. You should be
on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP
address, and click Save.
For more details about the “Access Control” page refer to Section 4.3.10.
Figure 4.4 Access Control
For the IP address to take effect, the Meter needs to be turned OFF and ON
using the “Network Reset” button. Pressing the physical button marked “RESET”
on the Meter does the same thing.
You can now connect the Meter to an Ethernet hub using a straight through
cable, power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.
