When the conditions of network has changed about security,
scale, line of communication, protocol and topology, for example, a
demand of particular VPI and VCI, you should adjust accordingly the
default settings to be able to adapt to the changes.
3.2 Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
The default IP settings for MT800 are as follows, IP address:
192.168.1.1, Subnet mask:255.255.255.0. Before configuring
MT800, you shall first have the computer set in the same subnet with
the MT800.
In order to configure your system as the same subnet with the
MT800, it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed and enabled.
zIf you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably
already has TCP/IP protocol installed.
zIf you are using Windows XP, the TCP/IP is enabled by
default for standard installations.
Then you can set the IP address and Subnet mask, for example,
192.168.1.100 and 255.255.255.0.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow
the instructions for your OS that configure the IP setting to occupy
the same subnet as MT800.
3.3 Accessing the Web-based Configuration
Manager
Once the computer has IP settings that allow it to access the
Web-based configuration manager, you can change the factory
default settings to enable the MT800 to connect to the Internet.
