Reaching the Converter by NAME instead of IP address

If the Converter is connected to a LAN equipped with a Domain Name Server, the network
manager may be able to configure the server to associate a particular text name with an IP
address. If this is not the case and addressing by name is desired, machines equipped with
Microsoft Windows may be configured for this capability.

Locate the “hosts” file on the PC to be configured. Some common locations for the host’s file
are:

Windows XP:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

Windows 2K:

C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

Win 98\ME:

C:\WINDOWS

The hosts file is a plain-text file of the form:

<ip address> <associated name>

Add the desired address/name pair(s) to the list. Generally, it is a good idea to back up any
system file before modification. An example host file is provided here:

216.239.39.99

google.com

127.0.0.1

localhost

192.168.1.1

miteqMultBB_1

192.168.1.2

miteqMultBB_2

In some cases, it may be necessary to reboot the PC before changes to the host file take effect.

Other Operating Systems may use a different mechanism. Consult the appropriate
documentation to change host settings.
