MT5 Multi-Tracer Operating Manual

Before continuing, record the existing IP address and sub-net mask of your computer.
Or note the settings if configured for dynamic addressing. You will need to restore these
settings.
Temporarily set the computer's IP address and subnet to values compatible with the
default values of the MT5. Set the IP address of the computer to a value different than
the Multi-Tracer and use the same subnet mask as shown below:
IP Address 192.168.1.31 (temporary computer address)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
At this point, you should be able to establish a connection to the MT5 using these
temporary network settings. See section 6.2
“Testing Network Connection” and then
return here to complete the process of changing the network settings.
Once you have established a successful, temporary network connection, you should
change the MT5 network settings to the permanent values provided by your network
administrator. Assuming you have a working connection as described in the "Testing
Network Connection" section, select the "Network Settings" item under the "System"
menu tab. This will open the network settings page. See section 4.4.2
“Network
Settings” for details.
Warning: It is critical that you know the MT5 IP address. If unknown, you will
have to connect a keyboard and monitor to determine the network IP address.
At a minimum, change the IP address and subnet mask and apply these changes. This
immediately changes the MT5 settings to these new values. Since these values will no
longer be compatible with the setting used to establish this temporary connection, you
will immediately lose connection to the MT5. This indicates that the MT5 network
settings have been changed.
Restore your computer to its original network settings, which must be compatible with
the new Multi-Tracer network settings. Reconnect your computer and the MT5 to your
network. Note: If you were using an Ethernet crossover cable, be sure to replace this
