Establishing Tcp/Ip Communication; Setting A Fixed Ip Address - Multitech MultiModem iSMS SF100-G Administrator's Manual

Establishing TCP/IP Communication

Use an IP enabled workstation with an Internet browser to setup and manage the MultiModem iSMS.
Your workstation needs to be configured with a 192.168.2.x IP address and subnet mask of 255.255.255.000, to be able to
communicate with a new (or factory defaulted) MultiModem iSMS (where x is not the number 0, 1, or 255, nor any other
host number that may already be in use by another computer or device on the 192.168.2.x subnet).
Note: When configuring your workstation with a 192.168.2.x IP address (either as an alias address or as the primary fixed
address) and when the workstation is not separated by a router or firewall from the MultiModem iSMS (that is, the units
are on the same local network), the workstation does not need to be configured with a default gateway address (default
route).
This section describes how to setup a Windows XP workstation so it can communicate with the MultiModem iSMS.
