4) I have forgotten my units IP address
If you have forgotten the IP address of your unit then you can simply press the rest button on
the back of the unit. This will then announce the IP address through the units internal speaker.
5) I have forgotten the password for my unit.
Hold down the reset button for 12 seconds. This will turn off the use password feature for the
web based interface. This will remain turned off until you hold the button down for a further 12
seconds, or the unit announces
“Now turning off password checking”
.
Note: This will turn off the password checking for accessing the web interface only; you still have
to enter the password when access the system via telnet.
6) Can I use DHCP to assign my units IP address?
Yes, you can use DHCP to assign the IP address. The unit ships with this disabled. Therefore
to turn it on you need to log into the web interface and navigate to the Ethernet settings by way
of clicking the “security” tab, “Ethernet Network” and then clicking on the YES button for “Use
DHCP”.
Note: If the unit has a static IP address assigned it will no longer send out DHCP requests. If you
later wish to turn DHCP back on you can do that using the Web based interface.
7) How do I set up my routing table?
*To set up the routing table, open a DOS window (start, run type
command
press enter) and at
the command prompt enter.
>route add 192.168.0.100 10.1.1.20
Where
10.1.1.20
is the IP address of the Ethernet interface on the PC that the unit is plugged
into with the crossover cable.
Now ping* 192.168.0.100 to see if the connection was successful.
8) How can I change my administrator password?

default (public) to your own choice follow these steps :-
