Chapter 3 - Basic Faxfinder Configuration; Configuring Faxfinder's Ip Address And Network Settings - Multitech FaxFinder FF440 Administrator's Manual

Configuring FaxFinder's IP address and Network
Settings
1. Set the admin PC to startup IP address.
If FaxFinder is already connected to a network, the client software can auto-discover the IP address. You
can also use the console port and a terminal program to learn its IP address; enter "ifconfig eth0" in the
terminal program.
Connect the FaxFinder directly to a compatible computer so you can change the FaxFinder's IP address to
one that will operate on your network. To connect a FaxFinder directly to a compatible computer:
a. Use an RJ-45 network cable to connect a PC directly to your FaxFinder (this may require you to
disconnect the PC from its current network).
b. Set the PC connected to the FaxFinder to IP address http://192.168.2.x, where x can be from 2 to 254
(use any address except 192.168.2.1). Record the original IP address so you may re-enter it when
finished.
