Installation Scenarios
Check List
Certain information relating to the network environment to which the T464 will
be installed is required.
In some cases, a network administration department will require the media
access control address (MAC) in order to allocate an IPv4 address (IP) to the
T464.
Each T464 has a unique MAC. The MAC is printed on a label near the
Ethernet connector.
The MAC is also reported by the setup software accessed via a serial
terminal. Details of how to do this may be found in the
section of this document.
Other cases will require that the T464 be installed on an existing network
about which little information, if any, is available. In this case, the installer will
have to use various software tools to discover the required information.
In any case, the installer will need to be able to determine the following:
•
IP allocation method at the installation site, which may be:
o
AutoIP (APIPA - Windows default).
o
DHCP (e.g. Windows ICS, gateway modem, router).
o
MAC locked DHCP (e.g. network administration department).
o
Manually allocated IP.
•
Access to TCP ports 7, 80, 10001 and UDP port 30718.
•
If the administration terminal is on a different subnet to the installed
T464.
•
Connectivity between the administration terminal and an installed T464
using PING.
Default Windows Network settings
A PC connected to a network running Windows is configured for TCP/IP "
to
Obtain an IP address automatically
" via DHCP, by default.
If no DHCP server is found on the network, it will fall back to "
Automatic Client
Configuration
" (AutoIP) to self-allocate an IP-address in the address-range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0
The T464 default network settings will operate in both DHCP and AutoIP
network environments.
