5 Find BlueGate 2100’s IP address
BlueGate 2100 is set up and configured through an internal Web server.
To access BlueGate 2100’s internal Web server you must know the IP address assigned
to BlueGate 2100.
In a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) environment, BlueGate 2100’s
IP address is dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.
The
FindIP application that discovers BlueGate 2100’s dynamically assigned IP address
is included on the BlueGate 2100 compact disc (see Section 5.1).
In a non-DHCP environment BlueGate 2100 defaults to a static IP address that can be
used to access the internal Web server (see Section 5.2).
A Java™ applet

is included on the compact disc for environments not operating under
Windows

. For more information on the Java applet, see Appendix C—Find IP address
in a Non-Windows Environment .

To discover the dynamically assigned IP address:
1. Insert the BlueGate 2100 compact disc into your CD-ROM drive and wait a few
seconds for the FindIP.exe application to auto-start. If the application does not
auto-start, from the Windows taskbar click
Start
>
Run
> Drive Designation
Letter (for example D:\) >
FindIP.exe
.
2. On the Welcome to Widcomm’s BlueGate Wizard screen, click
Next
.
3. When prompted, enter the Media Access Control (MAC) Address from the serial
number label on BlueGate 2100 (Figure 2) located beneath the covers (Figure 1)
and click
Next
.
4. FindIP returns the IP address. Select the check box to automatically open the
internal Web server home page and click
Finish
.
NOTE: The FindIP application uses a UDP broadcast packet to interrogate BlueGate 2100
for its assigned IP address. UDP packets are not routed; be sure that a router is
not between BlueGate 2100 and the computer running FindIP.
Section 6 describes how to complete the logon process.
