How to
add a manual route to the computer’s routing table?
Open an Administrator Command Prompt (CMD) window and type:
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.
Note:
If you do not receive an 'OK!' message then a parameter was wrong or missing.
The route is not persistent (removed upon rebooting), but you can also delete it with the
route delete 192.168.0.100
command.
How to
add a secondary IP address to the computer’s LAN card?
You can do this via the GUI by opening the LAN connection’s properties:
Or open an Administrator Command Prompt (CMD) window and type:
netsh interface ipv4 add address “Local Area Connection” 192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
The above command adds the IP Address 192.168.0.2 (with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0) to the
connection titled “Local Area Connection”.
You will then be able to connect to the unit with its default IP.
Note:
The secondary IP address
is permanent for the LAN connection; don’t use it if you only need it
once. Instead use the routing table method above.
