2.1.1 Connecting Directly to Computer for Configuration

Before you can make any configuration changes like configuring the static-IP settings, you must access
the card's web server via Ethernet.
To connect to the card:
1. Connect a computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system (Microsoft Windows® XP
or later) to the card by plugging one end of a network cable into the Ethernet port on the
computer and the other end into the Ethernet port on the Unity card, see Figure 1.1 on page 1.
Computer Automated Private IP addressing (APIPA) is normally enabled by default on
computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system and will assign an
Autoconfiguration IPv4 address when a DHCP server is not detected.
NOTE: This IP autoconfiguration process can take 1 to 3 minutes.
If necessary, use the Windows Command Prompt to verify the computer's IP-address settings:
• Press the Windows key+R, and enter cmd, and click OK.
• Type ipconfig /all and press Enter, then verify the following, see FIGURE:
Autoconfiguration Enabled = Yes
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address = 169.254.x.x
Subnet Mask = 255.255.0.0
NOTE: Enter ipconfig /renew to for acquisition of an Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address if one is not
listed.
2. On the computer, open a web browser session and enter 169.254.24.7 to connect to the card's
web server.
The Unity user interface opens.
