Initial Setup using the “Local” Port
Plug one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the 3e–
527A3 (see page 11) and the other end to an Ethernet port on your lap-
top. This LAN port in the 3e–527A3 connects you to the device’s internal
DHCP server which will dynamically assign an IP address to your laptop
so you can access the device for conguration. In order to connect prop-
erly to the 3e–527A3 on the LAN port, the TCP/IP parameters on your
laptop must be set to “obtain IP address automatically.” (If you are unfa-
miliar with this procedure, use the following instructions for determining
or changing your TCP/IP settings.)
In Windows 98/Me click Start à Settings à Control Panel.
Find and double click the Network icon. In the Network window,
highlight the TCP/IP protocol for your LAN and click the Proper-
ties button. Make sure that the radio button for Obtain an IP address
automatically is checked.
In Windows 2000/XP, follow the path Start à Settings à Net-
work and Dialup Connections à Local Area Connection and select
the Properties button. In the Properties window, highlight the TCP/
IP protocol and click properties. Make sure that the radio button for
Obtain an IP address automatically is checked.
Once the DHCP server has recognized your laptop and has assigned a
dynamic IP address, you will need to nd that IP address. Again, the pro-
cedure is similar for Windows 95/98/Me machines and slightly different
for Windows 2000/XP machines.
In Windows 98/Me, click Start, then Run and type winipcfg in
the run instruction box. Then click OK. You will see the IP address of
your laptop in the resulting window, along with the “default gate-
way” IP address. Verify that the IP address shown is 192.168.15.x
In Windows 2000/XP, click Start, then Run and type cmd in the
run instruction box. Then click OK. This will bring up a window. In
this window, type ipcong /all |more. This will list information as-
signed to your laptop, including the IP address assigned. Verify that
the IP address shown is 192.168.15.x
