Using the Graphical User Interface

Edit the
HOSTS file
14
Before using the Graphical User Interface (GUI), you must first add
the IP address and name of your SA8220 to your workstation's
HOSTS file:
1. If you already know the location of your workstation's HOSTS
file, proceed to step (5).
2. Launch Windows Explorer.
3. From the Tools menu, select Find > Files and Folders...
4. In the Named field, type hosts*.* and click Find Now. One or
more filenames matching your search criteria are displayed.
5. Open the HOSTS file (usually all uppercase, with no extension)
using Notepad* or another ASCII text editor.
6. Near the bottom of the file, type a line containing the IP address
of your SA8220 and its name, separated by a tab or spaces. For
example:
10.6.3.21
7. Repeat step (6) on a separate line for each additional SA8220, if
applicable. The IP address and name for each must be unique.
8. Save the HOSTS file (typically CTRL-S or File > Save).
9. Close the text editor, the Find window, and Windows Explorer, if
necessary.
