5.2.2 How to Set Up your Computer’s IP Address for a Direct Connection
When your computer is connected directly to the BL2000 via an Ethernet connection, you
need to assign an IP address to your computer. To assign the PC the address
10.10.6.101
with the netmask
255.255.255.0
, do the following.
Click on
Start > Settings > Control Panel
to bring up the Control Panel, and then dou-
ble-click the Network icon. Depending on which version of Windows you are using, look
for the
TCP/IP Protocol
/
Network > Dial-Up Connections
/
Network
line or tab. Double-
click on this line or select Properties or Local Area Connection > Properties to bring
up the TCP/IP properties dialog box. You can edit the IP address and the subnet mask
directly. (Disable “obtain an IP address automatically.”) You may want to write down the
existing values in case you have to restore them later. It is not necessary to edit the gate-
way address since the gateway is not used with direct connect.
