There are two ways to initially set up and assign the EGX200 Ethernet parameters:
• Using a Web Browser
• Using HyperTerminal

Setup Using a Web Browser

The EGX200 has a web server that includes embedded pages that let you configure
Ethernet and serial communication parameters, add serial devices, enter passwords,
and access diagnostics. The EGX200 ships with a default IP address (10.10.10.10)
and a subnet mask default address (255.255.255.0) that can be used to access these
web pages. The Communication Settings web page is used to set up the desired IP
address, subnet mask, and router IP address to match the network configuration.
To access the EGX200 Communication Settings web page using a browser, follow
these steps:
1. Connect a cross-over Ethernet cable from the EGX200 to the PC, as shown in
Figure 3–1.
