1. Connect one end of the factory supplied CAT-5 network crossover cable to the
Main Network Interface port
(12)
at the back of the EAS device, and the other end
to the network interface port of a standalone PC or laptop computer.
Once the EAS platform is powered up and completely booted, it can be accessed
via a web browser launched from the directly connected, customer-supplied
standalone computer.
2. Configure the standalone computer to use the static IP address 192.168.0.100 with
a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The standalone computer and the EAS device should
now be able to communicate.
3. Launch a web browser and type
http://192.168.0.200/
into the address bar. If a
log-in screen similar to the one shown below appears, communication with the EAS
device has been achieved. Skip to the EAS Device Login section of this chapter for
instructions on logging into the device.

4. Once the EAS devices’ IP address and subnet mask have been configured to
correspond with your facilities’ computer network addressing scheme, it will no
longer be accessible from the standalone computer.
5. Reset the standalone computers’ network configuration back to its original settings,
remove the network crossover cable from both devices, and plug a house network
cable into the EAS device.
6. The EAS device will now be accessible via a web browser running on any remote
computer on the local area network.
7. Type the EAS devices’ new IP address into the address bar of a web browser to
access the login screen.
Attention
It is advised that you
contact a network
administrator before
starting the following
procedure, as a valid
IP address and subnet
mask settings are
required to complete
this initial setup.
Working knowledge
of how to change the
network settings of the
standalone computer is
also necessary.
Note
Write down the current
IP address and subnet
mask settings of your
local computer before
making changes.
This information
will be useful when
reconfiguring back to its
original settings.
