4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network

Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer's default IP address to
access it and assign a new IP address to it.
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 128.100.101.254 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.0.0. You can configure your PC's Network connection with an IP address that is
in the same range as the iServer's IP address (128.100.x.x) and connect to the iServer
using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 128.100.101.254. If you
receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to a Web browser and type in
http://128.100.101.254 and it will take you to the iServer's main web page.
Select Access Control button, you'll be asked for the password. The default Login
password is "12345678" and the Admin password is "00000000", then you should be on
the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP address, and
click Save.

For the IP address to take effect, the iServer needs to be turned OFF/ON. Clicking the
"Power Recycle" button will turn the iServer OFF and ON. Pressing the physical button
marked "RESET" on the iServer does the same thing. You can now connect the iServer
to an Ethernet hub using a straight through cable, power it up, and follow the ping routine
mentioned in the previous section.
