Click ‘Properties’.
i.
Enter the IP address into the address fields: 169 | 254 | 1 | 10
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that you do not deselect the
‘Use the following IP address:’ radio button.
j.
Click 'OK’ to save the change.
2.
If you have not already done so, connect a user-supplied Ethernet cable
from the ‘J6 | COM1’ RJ-45 Ethernet port on the LPOD-R directly to the
Ethernet port of the User PC.
3.
Use Windows Command-line to ping the actively running LPOD-R:
a.
Type “ping -t 169.254.1.1” to begin repeatedly pinging the
LPOD-R.
b.
Cycle the LPOD-R power as the User PC continues to ping the unit.
c.
Continue to observe the ping responses in the Windows
Command-line window.
4.
Wait for one successful ping reply, followed by an unsuccessful ping –
once the LPOD-R receives a ping on IP address 169.254.1.1 within the first
10 seconds of the unit’s power-up or reset, it restores the interface access
factory default values:
•
DEFAULT MANAGEMENT IP ADDRESS/RANGE – 192.168.1.4/24
•
DEFAULT HTTP INTERFACE USERNAME – comtech
•
DEFAULT HTTP INTERFACE PASSWORD – comtech
5.
As per Step 1, change the IP address of the User PC’s assigned Ethernet
port to an address within the 192.168.1.XXX subnet (i.e., assign a
Management IP Address to the LPOD-R from 192.168.1.001 through
192.168.1.255).
The LPOD-R management interface is now accessible and ready for M&C of the
unit.
