Establishing Tcp/Ip Communication - Multitech MultiModem iSMS SF 100-G User Manual For System Administrators

Establishing TCP/IP Communication

An IP enabled Workstation with an Internet WEB Browser is needed to setup and manage the MultiModem
iSMS.
Your workstation needs to be configured with a 192.168.2.x IP address and subnet mask of 255.255.255.000,
to be able to communicate with a new (or factory defaulted) MultiModem iSMS (where x is not the number 0,
1, or 255, nor any other host number that may already be in use by another computer or device on the
192.168.2.x subnet).
Note: When configuring your workstation with a 192.168.2.x IP address (either as an alias address or as the
primary fixed address) and when the workstation is not separated by a router or firewall from the
MultiModem iSMS (i.e. the units are on the same local network), the workstation does not need to be
configured with a default gateway address (default route).
The following directions show how to setup a Windows XP workstation so the PC can communicate with the
MultiModem iSMS.
Setting a Fixed IP Address
1. Make the MultiModem iSMS connections as described previously in this chapter.
2. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel. Double-click the Network Connections icon.
3. The Network Connections screen displays. .
Right-click the Local Area Connection icon and choose Properties from the drop down list.
