FT-66xx Quick Start Guide
Overview
This quick-start guide will walk you through the minimum steps necessary to setup a pair of FTs to
tunnel a private network over a public network. It will not go into detail, but will touch upon the steps
and the order they should be performed. The steps should be repeated for each FT device except where
noted.
The FTs use a client-server architecture. One unit is designated as the server. It listens for connections
from clients. One or more clients may be configured to connect to the server. For our walk-through,
please refer to the following diagram. Addresses in the diagram are intended as an example. A blank
copy of this diagram, which you may use to plan your configuration, can be found on the last page of
this document.
Step 1: Setting Initial LAN1 IP address
LAN1's default IP address is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. LAN1 will also be
running a DHCP server, assigning addresses in the range 192.168.0.101 through 192.168.0.109. You
can skip to the next step if your computer is configured with an IP address on the 192.168.0.0/24
subnet.
You can change the LAN1 IP address and reset the FT-66xx to defaults through the COM port. The
COM port operates at 9600 baud, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, no flow control. You will need a null-
modem cable to connect a PC COM port.
