3.1Make Correct Network Settings ofYourComputer
The default IPaddress ofthis product is 192.168.123.254,andthedefault subnet maskis
255.255.255.0. Theseaddresses can bechangedonyourneed, butthedefault values are usedin this
manual. Ifthe TCP/IP environmentofyourcomputerhas notyet been configured,youcan refer to
AppendixA toconfigure it. For example,
1. configureIPas 192.168.123.1,subnet mask as255.255.255.0 and gatewayas
192.168.123.254, or more easier,
2. configureyour computerstoload TCP/IPsettingautomatically,that is, via DHCPserver of
this product.
After installingtheTCP/IP communicationprotocol, you can use the ping commandtocheckif your
computer has successfullyconnectedtothis product. The followingexample shows thepingprocedure
forWindows 95platforms. First, execute the ping command
ping192.168.123.254
If the followingmessages appear:
Pinging192.168.123.254with 32bytes ofdata:
Replyfrom192.168.123.254:bytes=32time=2ms TTL=64
acommunicationlink between your computer and this product has been successfullyestablished.
Otherwise, if youget the followingmessages,
Pinging192.168.123.254with 32bytes ofdata:
Request timed out.
There must be somethingwrongin your installationprocedure. Youhave tocheckthe followingitems
in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctlyconnectedbetween this product andyourcomputer?
Tip:The LANLED ofthisproduct and thelinkLED ofnetworkcard onyour computer must be
lighted.
2. Is the TCP/IPenvironment ofyourcomputers properlyconfigured?
Tip:If theIPaddress of this productis 192.168.123.254,theIPaddress of your computermust
