Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP
To assign an IP address using HTTP, follow these 8 steps:
1
Disconnect the V6100 from the network and reconnect it to your PC using one of the
following two methods:
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the network interface on your PC to a port
on a network hub / switch. Use a second standard Ethernet cable to connect the
V6100 to another port on the same network hub / switch.
Use an Ethernet cross-over cable to directly connect the network interface on your
PC to the V6100.
2
Change your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to correspond with the V6100 factory
default IP address and subnet mask, shown in
. For details on changing the IP
address and subnet mask of your PC, refer to Windows™ Online Help (Start>Help).
3
Access the V6100 Embedded Web Server (see
Accessing the Embedded Web Server
).
4
In the ‘Quick Setup’ screen, set the V6100
‘IP Address’, ‘Subnet Mask’ and ‘Default
Gateway IP Address’ fields under ‘IP Configuration’
to correspond with your network IP
settings.
If your network doesn’t feature a default gateway, enter a dummy value in the
‘Default Gateway IP Address’ field.
5
Click the
Reset Device
button and click
OK
in the prompt; the V6100 applies the
changes and restarts.
Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the V6100. Do
the same when defining new username or password. If the Embedded Web
Server is unavailable (for example, if you’ve lost your username and
password), use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device,
“reflash” the load and reset the password (refer to the V6100
Digital Gateway
User Guide for detailed information on using a BootP/TFTP configuration
utility to access the device).
6
Disconnect your PC from the V6100 or from the hub / switch (depending on the
connection method you used in
7
Reconnect the V6100 and your PC (if necessary) to the network.
8
Restore your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to what they originally were. If
necessary, restart your PC and re-access the V6100 via the Embedded Web Server with
its new assigned IP address.
