AKCP SP1+ User Manual page 12

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have performed a complete factory reset on your SP1+ H7 type (on
firmware v1.0.5824 or higher) unit without choosing the option to retain the fixed IP address, then
your unit will default back to DHCP. Please refer to the steps above again to determine your units
newly assigned IP address.
Note: In some cases, your computer might not be able to connect to this default IP address. In this
situation you either need to:
a) add this IP your computers routing table or
b) add a secondary IP address to the LAN card to allow access to the unit.
See below how to setup these.
Ensure the following items are available to you before starting:
- RJ45 CAT5 crossover cable with RJ45 male connection
- A PC with Ethernet card or LAN socket, logged in with Administrator rights
1) Connect the unit via the Ethernet port of the unit to your computers LAN or Ethernet port with a
CAT5 crossover cable.
2) Open a web browser and type the default IP address, hit enter.
You'll be presented by the Summary page.
Go to the System/Network page to change the network settings (see below in this manual).
Once you have assigned the new IP address use the "ping" command to test the unit's reply.
How to add a manual route to the computer's routing table?
Open an Administrator Command Prompt (CMD) window and type:
route add 192.168.0.100 10.1.1.20
Where 10.1.1.20 is the IP address of the Ethernet interface on the PC that the unit is plugged into
with the crossover cable.
Note: If you do not receive an 'OK!' message then a parameter was wrong or missing.
The route is not persistent (removed upon rebooting), but you can also delete it with the
route delete 192.168.0.100 command.
How to add a secondary IP address to the computer's LAN card?
You can do this via the GUI by opening the LAN connection's properties:
