Initial start up

When you power on the IPL T CR48 for the ﬁrst time, there are two ways to set up the IP

address:

 Use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command method.

 Use the direct PC method.

The default Web pages that are preloaded on the IPL T CR48 provide a way to reconﬁgure

the unit once it has an active network connection with IP access. These Web pages are

compatible with Internet Explorer

(version 6.0 or higher). See Communication with the

Interface in the “Communication and Control” section for information on accessing and

conﬁguring the controller.

Once the unit has been reconﬁgured, an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection can

subsequently be used to contact or control it. See Ethernet Connection, earlier in this

section, for additional information.

Conﬁguring the IPL T CR48 using the ARP command

You can make use of the ARP command to set up an IP address for your IPL T CR48. The

ARP command tells your computer to associate the MAC address of the IPL T CR48 with the

assigned IP address. You must then use the ping command to access the IPL T CR48 unit, at

which point the IP address of the device server is reconﬁgured.

NOTE: To use this setup method, both your computer and IPL T CR48 must be

connected to the same LAN. Or, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to

connect the device server directly to the Ethernet card of the computer.

Use ARP to conﬁgure the IP address as follows:

1. Obtain a valid IP address for your IPL T CR48 from your network administrator.

2. Obtain the MAC address of the IPL T CR48 from the label on its back panel.

3. If the unit has never been conﬁgured and is still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If

not, perform a Mode 4 system reset. See Resetting the Controller in the “Installation

and Operation” section for detailed information on reset modes.

CAUTION: The IPL T CR48 unit must be conﬁgured with the factory default IP

address — 192.168.254.254 — before executing the ARP command, as

described in the following steps.
