6.5.10 Powering Up
The PTP 500 Series Bridge is supplied as a pair of matched Master/Slave units. The Master
unit can now be powered up and accessed using the default URL http://169.254.1.2/
; the
Slave unit can be accessed using http://169.254.1.1/
.
Prior to powering up the PTP 500 Series Bridge, a computer with web browsing capabilities
should be configured with an IP address of 169.254.n.n and subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
where n is any value between 1 and 254 but excluding 1.1 or 1.2. If the default addresses of
the unit 169.254.1.1/2 clashes with an address you are already using on your LAN, or you are
not sure, you should set up an isolated LAN. As the LAN connection presented at the PIDU
Plus has a default configuration as a hub/switch (and auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cross over is
employed), connection can be made directly to the computer using a standard CAT 5 patch
cable.
NOTE
It is possible that some units may not be accessed using the above default URL. This
is because these units may have been previously configured with IP addresses
10.10.10.11 (Master) and 10.10.10.10 (Slave). Therefore, users must use the URL
http://10.10.10.10/
and/or URL http://10.10.10.11/ to configure the units. Please
ensure that a computer with web browsing capabilities is configured with an IP
address of 10.10.10.n, where n is any value between 2 and 254 but excluding 10 and
11, to configure these units.
