Now that the eCDi™ unit is turned on, connect an external computer with a 10 base T
network connection directly to the ethernet port on the front of the eCDi™ using the
provided ethernet cable labeled “Configure.” This port
must be used for the initial
configuration of the unit. As of eCDi™ software Rev 2.6.K, the configuration port has a
fixed IP address of 192.168.217.254 or a name of ecdi-local on all units .

The eCDi™ supports DHCP which means the computer to be connected
for configuration can be set to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically” as
shown in Figure 2-17. In this mode eCDi™ will assign the remote
computer an IP address when it connects.
