Boot up and log in – Static IP system configuration
This allows you to connect your Edge Gateway through a host computer, which must be on the same subnet.
NOTE: The static IP address of Ethernet port two on the Edge Gateway is set to these values at the factory:
•
IP address:
192.168.2.1
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
•
DHCP server: Not applicable
1.
On the host computer, configure the Ethernet adaptor that is connected to the Edge Gateway with a static IPv4 address under the
same subnet. Set the IPv4 address to
192.168.2.x
(where
x
represents the last digit of the IP address, for example,
192.168.2.2
).
NOTE: Do not set the IPv4 address to the same IP address as the Edge Gateway. Use an IP address between
192.168.2.2
to
192.168.2.254
.
2.
Set the subnet mask to
255.255.255.0
.
