IP Address Determination

If you are an administrator logging in for the first time, you need to access the SN0108 / SN0116 in order to give it an IP address that users can connect to. There are three methods to choose from. In each case, your computer must be on the same network segment as the SN0108 / SN0116.After you have connected and logged in you can give the SN0108 / SN0116 its fixed network address in the Network Settings dialog box (see p. 23).

Method 1:

For computers running Windows, an IP address can be assigned with the IP

Installer utility:

1. Unzip the contents of IPInstaller.zip (found on the Software CD that came with your SN0108 / SN0116 package) to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Go to the directory that you unzipped the IPInstaller program to and run

IPInstaller.exe. A dialog box similar to the one below appears:

2004-12-15

4. Select either Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP), or Specify an

IP address. If you chose the latter, fill the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and

Gateway fields with the information appropriate to your network.

5. Click Set IP.

6. After the IP address shows up in the Device List, click Exit to end the program.

Method 2:

1. Set your computer’s IP address to 192.168.0.XXX

Where XXX represents any number or numbers except 10. (192.168.0.10

is the default address of the SN0108 / SN0116.)

2. Specify the switch’s default IP address (192.168.0.10) in your browser, and you will be able to connect.

3. Assign a fixed IP address for the SN0108 / SN0116 that is suitable for the network segment that it resides on.

4. After you log out, be sure to reset your computer’s IP address to its original value.

58

2004-12-15

Method 3:

A fixed IP address can also be assigned with the ARP command as follows:

1. Turn off the power to the SN0108 / SN0116.

2. Enter the following command: arp -s <ip address> <SN0108 / SN0116’s MAC address>
