Changing the i401’s IP address
To change the i401’s factory-default IP address, perform the following steps:
Important Note: You must carefully record and store the new IP address for future reference.
After the factory-default IP address is changed, it cannot be remotely reset.
1
From the I401 web page, click the Configure IP Address link.
2
The Change IP Address page loads (Figure 3-19), displaying the factory default IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway addresses.
3
Change IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway addresses as required. Be sure to record these
address changes in a safe location and then click the Submit button. To revert to the factory
default IP settings, simply click Submit when the Change IP Address page opens.
4
Remove DC power from the laser, wait 30 seconds, and then re-apply 48 VDC power.
5
Launch your web browser, type the new IP address (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), and then press
Enter. The i401 home page will appear as shown back in Figure 3-17. To reach the event log page,
enter “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/service.html” (without the quotes); where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the new
IP address.

Alternate Ethernet connection
In situations where it is necessary to isolate the i401 laser from your internal IT network, but still access
the i401 web page from a networked control computer, you can connect the i401 laser to the networked
computer using a USB to Ethernet adapter. Devices like the TRENDnet TU2-ET100 USB to 10/100 Mbps
Adapter allow your networked computer to access the I401 web page over the computer’s USB port,
which isolates the laser from your computer network. In this case, use a crossover Ethernet cable
between the i401 laser and the USB to Ethernet adapter.
