Step 2
:
Assign the AVN2XX a network IP address
Before you can use the AVN2XX on your network, you will need to determine whether to
assign a static IP Address to your AVN2XX or use the default DHCP setting that allows
your network to automatically assign a dynamic IP address.
It is highly recommended
that you assign a static IP Address to your AVN2XX.
If the unit is not statically
configured and no DHCP server is available on the network, the unit will default to IP
address
192.168.1.253
. .
1. In order to configure your AVN2XX, you will need to ask your IT/Networking
department for the following information:
2. Does your network use DHCP and have a DHCP Server running? (Yes or No. If
No, you will need to assign a static IP Address to your AVN2XX.)
3. What is the subnet mask of your network? (e.g., 255.255.255.0)
4. What is the default gateway address on your network? (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
5. What is an available IP address we can assign to the AVN200 unit? (e.g.,
192.168.1.100)
6. Connect the Null Modem cable between the RS-232 port (serial on the AVN220) of
the AVN2XX and a COMM port on your PC (typically the COM1 port).
Note
: If there is a COMM port conflict and you are unable to use HyperTerminal
(see #3 below), you may configure the AVN2XX with the PackeTV™ Configuration
Utility. Refer to the PackeTV™ Configuration Utility User’s Manual for details.
7. Launch a terminal application, such as TeraTerm (Google: teraterm download) or
Microsoft’s HyperTerminal.
a. In this example, go to the Windows Start menu, select Programs>
Accessories> Communications> HyperTerminal.
b. Select a name and an icon for this connection, click
OK
.
c. Specify the port that you are connected to on your PC (
typically COM1
),
click OK.
d. Configure the Port Settings as follows:
Bits per second (38400), Data bits
(8), Parity (None), Stop bits (1), Flow Control (None)
. Click
OK
.
e.
From the Main Admin Menu, select “Config Menu”, and press
ENTER
to
open the Config Menu.
