STAC5 Ethernet Hardware Manual
192.168.0, the most common subnet, you will want to choose an address from switch settings 4
through E. Another common subnet is 192.168.1. If your network uses addresses in this range, the
compatible default selections are 1, 2 and 3. If your PC address is not in one of the above private
subnets, you will have to change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 in order to talk to your drive. To
change your subnet mask:
1. On Windows XP, right click on "My Network Places" and select properties. On Windows 7, click
Computer. Scroll down the left pane until you see "Network". Right click and select properties.
Select "Change adapter settings"
2. You should see an icon for your network interface card (NIC). Right click and select properties.
3. Scroll down until you see "Internet Properties (TCP/IP)". Select this item and click the Properties
button. On Windows 7 and Vista, look for "(TCP/IPv4)"
4. If the option "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected, your PC is getting an IP address
and a subnet mask from the DHCP server. Please cancel this dialog and proceed to the next sec-
tion of this manual: "Using DHCP".
5. If the option "Use the following IP address" is selected, life is good. Change the subnet mask to
"255.255.0.0" and click OK.
