Chapter 4. Ethernet & IP configuration
Before configuring the SERIP-100, obtain a unique static IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway address from your network administrator.
The factory default IP address of the SERIP-100 is 169.254.0.10 which is in the Automatic
Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address range.
There are several methods of configuring the unit's IP address:
1. Removing your PC from your corporate network and using a cross-over network
cable (see the section called "IP setup using a web browser and a cross-over network
cable").
2. Via the Serial Port 1 and a terminal program like HyperTerminal (see the section called
"IP setup using a terminal program like HyperTerminal").
3. Leaving your PC connected to your corporate network and temporarily changing the
IP settings on your PC to match the subnet of the SERIP-100 (see the section called
"Temporarily changing the IP settings on your PC").
In order to connect to the SERIP-100 via TCP/IP, your PC must be on same IP subnet
as the gateway. In most situations this means that the first three numbers of the
IP address have to be identical.
IP setup using a web browser and a cross-over network cable
This method applies only to operating systems like Windows, which support APIPA
(Automatic Private IP Addressing). It also requires your PC to be configured for DHCP. If
your computer is configured with a static IP address, follow the procedure in the section
called "Temporarily changing the IP settings on your PC".
1. Disconnect your PC from your corporate network. If your computer is configured for
DHCP it should now automatically fall back to use a default IP address from the APIPA
range 169.254.x.x (Windows PCs only).
2. Connect an Ethernet crossover cable from the SERIP-100 to the computer.
3. Start Internet Explorer.
4. In the address box, type 169.254.0.10 and then press Enter.
5. Click Configuration... and then Ethernet & IP in the menu on the left side of
the page.
6. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address assigned to your SERIP-100,
then click Save.
7. Reconnect your computer to your corporate network.
