1. On your laptop, disable your wireless connection. This ensures that your laptop will not compete with any wireless
networks in range when obtaining or assigning the temporary IP address.
2. Change the IP address of your laptop to a static IP address on the same subnet as the transmitter. For example, if
the transmitter IP address will be 192.168.0.6, you can set the laptop’s IP address to 192.168.0.2 with a subnet of
255.255.255.0.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop’s Ethernet port to the transmitter’s LAN port.
4. On the laptop, open a command window. You will use the command window to set the temporary IP address for
the transmitter. To open the command window:
a. Select
Start
>
Run
.
b. In the Run dialog, type
cmd
.
c. Click
OK
.
5. In the command window, enter the following command to assign the temporary IP address to the transmitter.
arp –s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the temporary IP address of the transmitter and xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx with the
MAC address of the transmitter’s LAN port.
For example, if you want to assign the temporary IP address 192.168.0.6 to a transmitter with LAN port MAC
address 00-20-4A-93-7F-D4, you would enter the following command:
arp –s 192.168.0.6 00-20-4A-93-7F-D4
NOTE:
If you do not know the MAC address of the transmitter’s LAN port, the MAC address is listed in
the transmitter’s Diagnostics menu.
6. To complete assignment of the temporary IP address to the transmitter, enter the following command in the
command window:
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1
replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the temporary IP address of the transmitter.
In our example, you will type:
telnet 192.168.0.6 1
The telnet command will fail, ensuring that the web connection will be available.
7. To verify that the web connection is available, ping the transmitter by entering the following command in the
command window:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the temporary IP address of the transmitter.
If replies are received, you will be able to access the transmitter through the web interface.
