Once you find out the IP address allocated by the DHCP server, use your web browser and
point to the IP address to load Safety Boots’ web interface.
IP address allocation using ARP and Telnet
You can use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) method from UNIX and Windows® - based
systems to assign a temporary IP address on to Safety Boot. The steps to configure the
device through the network are as follows.
1. Open command prompt and create an entry in the host’s ARP table using the
intended IP address and the hardware MAC address, which is found on the devices’
serial number label.
Eg: arp -s 192.168.1.220 00-20-4a-xx-xx-xx
| ---- new IP ---- | | --- MAC Address --- |
2. Open a Telnet connection to port 1. The connection will fail quickly, but Safety Boot
will temporarily change its IP address to the one designated in this step.
Eg: telnet 192.168.1.220 1
3. Finally, open a Telnet connection to port 9999, and press Enter within three seconds
to go into setup mode. If you wait longer than three seconds, the unit will reboot. If
this happens go back to step 2 and start again.
Eg: telnet 192.168.1.220 9999
4. Set all required parameters by following the instructions given by the menu. Most
importantly set a static IP address. Once this is completed you may use the web
browser configuration to make further changes. Save settings before exiting.
IP address allocation using a Web Browser
Open your default web browser and direct to the IP address of the unit.
Note:
If DHCP was used you will need to find the IP address by contacting your network
administrator or by using a DHCP client.
Load the configuration web interface by clicking on the link on the left side. You will be
directed to the configuration web interface.
Enter the password to login to configuration and click OK. The factory default password is
“password”.
Note:
The passwords on Safety Boot are case sensitive
Make appropriate changes to the unit settings and click on the Apply button.

Use the command “ping” to check if the allocated static IP address is a duplicate
before you begin.

Use the command “ping” to check if you are able to reach the unit once you have
configured the unit
??
The best method to allocate an IP address is to isolate the adapter from the external
network, and use a direct cross over RJ 45 network connection with a PC. Then use
ARP and telnet to allocate and IP address as described above.

Read the trouble shooting section (Section 5) for any additional tips given in the main
user manual.
