NETWORK SETUP

1. Plug in the power cord and connect the Plus-X GSC Adapter to your network via the rear-panel Ethernet
connector.
2. If your network supports DHCP functionality, a dynamic IP address will be assigned to the unit. If DCHP is not
supported on your network skip ahead to step 3 now. To access the unit, launch a web browser and enter the
hostname PLUSXGSC/ in the browser's address field then skip to step 5. Be sure to include the forward-slash
symbol in the hostname.
3. If your network doesn't support DHCP, the Plus-X GSC Adapter will assign itself the default IP address
192.168.0.100. You will need to connect a PC with a web browser to the Plus-X GSC Adapter at this IP address
before you can change the network settings on the unit. One way to do this is to unplug your PC from any
other LAN and connect your PC to the Plus-X GSC Adapter via a network switch or a cross-over ethernet
cable. Then configure your PC with a compatible IP address so that you may connect to the Plus-X GSC
Adapter. Running Windows, the following steps will allow you to configure your PC with a compatible IP
address:
1 From the Control Panel, select Network Connections.
2 Double-click the icon for the network you will be using.
3 On the General tab, click Properties.
4 Click Internet Protocol version 4 "TCP/IPv4".
4. Open a browser and enter the Plus-X GSC Adapter default IP address of 192.168.0.100.
5. The web page will prompt you to set a password for the administrator account.
6. The login screen will then be displayed. Enter the username admin and the password you supplied
above.
5 Select Properties.
6 Choose "Use the following IP address" and enter an IP address of
192.168.0.x, where x is any valid address location except 100.
7 Enter Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
8 Click OK.

7. The first screen displayed after initial login is an abbreviated Network
page requiring you to enter a static IP address for the Plus-X GSC
Adapter. Check with your network administrator for an available IP
address that is not within the DHCP address range.
8. Your browser will be automatically redirected to the new IP address.
If your initial connection was made without DHCP, your PC should now
be restored to its prior network settings and both the PC and the Plus-X
GSC Adapter should be connected to the normal LAN.
9. Log in to the Plus-X GSC Adapter at its new static IP address, go to
the Settings tab on the web page and select Network to change the
network information.
Add the following network information and select save to confirm the
changes.
a. NetBIOS/Hostname – This name should be changed from its default
value of PLUSXGSC so conflicts will not occur if multiple Plus-X devices of
the same model are installed on the network.
b. IP Address – This field will display the static IP address you entered in
a previous step.
c. Subnet Mask – Check with your network administrator otherwise the
factory default setting can be used.
d. Gateway – Check with your network administrator otherwise the
factory default setting can be used.
