TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 

7.  Press the number <1> key to enter the Network Configuration menu, which is used to set the IP 

address properties for the unit. 

 

------------------------------------------------ 
|             Network Configuration              | 
|          (HDSD9545DLY-PRO v1.00 b310)          | 
 ------------------------------------------------ 
---------------------------------- 
MAC: 00:02:c5:fe:e8:08 
 
ip address:        192.168.8.206 
netmask address:   255.255.255.0 
gateway:           0.0.0.0 
broadcast address: 255.255.255.255 
DHCP enabled: False 
---------------------------------- 
(1) Set IP Address 
(2) Set Netmask 
(3) Set Gateway 
(4) Set Broadcast Address 
(5) Use DHCP 
 
(S) Save and Exit 
(X) Exit 
 

 
8.  The Network configuration menu selecting options “1” through “4” allows the user to set the networking 

parameters of the unit.  If this unit is running on a public LAN enabled with DHCP, then option “5” 
allows the networking system to assign a non-conflicting IP address for this module.  After completing 
the IP configurations, save and exit this menu by selecting “S”.  The unit ships with DHCP disabled (or 
DHCP enabled set to “FALSE”).  If you are not sure whether you should use this option, contact your 
networking/IT administrator.  

 

Once you return to the Main Menu, reboot the unit so that the new settings will take effect.  You can do 
this using the 

Reboot Now

 menu item on the 

FIRMWARE

 menu, or you can disconnect the power to 

the unit and then plug it back in. 

 

4.3.1.2. 

Step 2 – Establishing a Valid Network Connection 

9.  Connect a crossover network cable from the PC/laptop to the unit. 
 
10. Open a Command Prompt window on the PC/laptop and “ping” the IP address of the module being 

upgraded. For example: 
 

C:\ ping 192.168.9.100 <Enter> 

 
If a proper network connection has been established, a “reply” is displayed on the DOS window. If 
there is a faulty network connection, a “Destination Host Unreachable” message is provided. If this 
occurs, either the IP addresses of the nodes should be verified or the network (Ethernet) cable is 
faulty. For more information, please see the INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION chapter of this 
manual.
