6.1.2. Network Change via Temporary Network
It is not possible to change the network settings via the network without a working
network connection. This dilemma is overcome using the following steps:
1) Temporarily connect a computer (PC) to the MT5 directly using an Ethernet
crossover cable (included).
2) Temporarily change the PC network setting to be compatible with the default
MT5 network settings given below.
3) Establish a connection to the MT5.
4) Change the MT5 network settings.
5) Reset the PC settings back to their original values.
6) Re-establish MT5 connection using the new network settings.
The MT5 ships with default network settings of:
IP Address 192.168.1.30
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
These steps may not work properly if done with your computer and MT5 connected to
your existing network. It is recommended that you connect the computer to the MT5
directly using an Ethernet crossover cable. An Ethernet crossover cable is a special
Ethernet cable intended for directly connecting two network devices without the use of a
router, hub or network switch.
An alternative, to using a crossover cable, is to connect the MT5 and computer to the
same network switch or hub, yet keep this switch isolated from the main LAN. In either
case, this setup creates a small network consisting of just the MT5 and a single
computer.
