physically moved, the IP address can travel with device.

Set the FS-M IP and subnet mask using the addresses provided by the
Network Administrator.

Click on the
Apply
button at the bottom of the

3.3.3 Accessing a Networked FS-M with Default IP Settings
It is possible to attach a new FS-M, with its factory default IP and submask
addresses, to a network and then change the FS-M addresses to match the parent
network.
This procedure requires temporarily changing the host computer’s address, to allow
initial access to the FS-M, and then changing it back.
1.
Change the Host Computer IP address to an IP address in the same IP range as
the FS-M’s default IP address, e.g. 192.168.0.101.
2.
Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. For information on how to change TCP/
IP settings, refer to the OS
Help
documentation for the host computer.
3.
Reboot the computer when the TCP/IP changes are completed.
4.
Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Foxfire.
5.
Enter the default IP address for the FS-M in the URL field and press
Enter
.
The FS-M Web application appears in the browser window. For information
about the FS-M Web application, see
FS-M Web and FTP Interfaces on page 29
.
6.
In the main screen, click on the
System Config
tab.
7.
Change the IP settings so that the FS-M is compatible with the network.
8.
Click on the
Apply
button at the bottom of the System Config area.
