7 Installation
7.7.10 Powering Up
The PTP 500 Series Bridge is supplied as a pair of matched Master/Slave units. The Master
unit can now be powered up and accessed using the default URL http://169.254.1.2/; the
Slave unit can be accessed using http://169.254.1.1/.
Prior to powering up the PTP 500 Series Bridge, a computer with web browsing capabilities
should be configured with an IP address of 169.254.n.n and subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
where n is any value between 1 and 254 but excluding 1.1 or 1.2. If the default addresses of
the unit 169.254.1.1/2 clashes with an address you are already using on your LAN, or you are
not sure, you should set up an isolated LAN. As the LAN connection presented at the PIDU
Plus has auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cross over capability, connection can be made directly to
the computer using a standard CAT 5 patch cable.
Before physical installation takes place the units to be installed should be set up as described
in the Section 8.3.4 "Install Pages". It is recommended that this procedure be carried out on
the bench before physical installation commences. Providing it is safe to do so, the installer
should take the process to the point where a radio link is established before proceeding to the
installation site.
