8 RabbitLink (EG2100)
2.2 Configuring RabbitLink Network Parameters from Your PC
There are two ways to set the basic network parameters for the RabbitLink. The basic network
parameters are:
• the IP address of the RabbitLink
• the IP address of the gateway
• the netmask
2.2.1 Dynamically Assigned Network Parameters
The first, and easiest, way to set network parameters is to use a DHCP server. This method is
available starting with RabbitLink firmware version 2.00. It removes the need to connect to a PC
to configure the RabbitLink, which may be desirable on PCs without a COM port.
The RabbitLink tries to use the services of a DHCP server by default. If there is not a DHCP
server on the network, or it is desired to set the parameters by hand, the second method may be
used.
2.2.2 Statically Assigned Network Parameters
This method is required for setting anything beyond the basic network parameters. A terminal
emulator is used to communicate with the RabbitLink serial console.
1. Open a terminal emulator such as Tera Term or Windows Hypertermal on your PC. Configure
the terminal emulator as follows.
TIP: If no characters appear when you type, press return, then type
echo on
to turn on the
echoing of characters.
2. Configure the RabbitLink network parameters. This is done using the serial console commands.
Please refer to Appendix E, “Serial Console Commands,” for a description of all the commands.
If a DHCP server was not used , the following serial console commands are required:
set ip x.x.x.x //
factory default is 10.10.1.100
set gateway x.x.x.x //
factory default is 10.10.6.1
set netmask x.x.x.x //
factory default is 255.255.255.255
If you are using RabbitLink firmware version 2.00, you must first type
set dhcp off
before
setting the netmask or the IP address of either the RabbitLink or its gateway. Ask your network
administrator for assistance, if necessary.
