Setting Device Parameters

The first step in installing an S1900e device is to change its IP address to ensure
compatibility with an existing network. The default IP addresses of all devices are based on
the APIPA addressing scheme and will be in the range 169.254.
X . Y , where X and Y are
relative to the MAC address of the individual device; for more information about APIPA, see
page 43.
To work properly, devices on the same network must have unique IP addresses. The device
will not prevent you from entering a duplicate address. However, its system status LED will
turn to flashing red; then the device will use an APIPA address.
To set the parameters of a device:
1. In a lab, unpack the device and place it on a table.
2. Establish the Ethernet connection by plugging a cable (straight-through or crossover)
into the LAN 10/100 connector on the back of the device.
The crossover cable is to directly connect the device to a computer; the
straight-through cable is to integrate the S1900e on a network. For their detailed
pinouts, see page 49.
3. Power the S1900e. If you are using the supplied power supply:
a. Plug the power supply wire with the dashed white lines in the Gnd pole on the back
of the device.
b. Plug the other power wire in the Pwr+ pole on the back of the device.
