4-3 Assign IP by IP Installer NETCOMM IP Installer is a Windows 98/ME/NT/2000 program. It is the software application that proves an easier way for the setting of IP address and network configuration of NETCOMM 's NDC. By using this tool, you can easily set multiple NETCOMM NS4540s at the same time with the batch setting function. By utilizing the IP Installer, the setting process is largely simplified and the setting time is effectively shortened.
4-3-3 Assign an IP Address to NETCOMM NS4540 Select the MAC Address of your NETCOMM NS4540 in the list. The MAC Address is identical to the unit's S/N (Serial Number). And click the menu bar View/Property to open the Property Page for the selected item. After filling in the properties, click the OK button to submit the settings for the unit and the settings will be activated immediately.

Appendix B - Upgrading the Software NETCOMM NS4540 software is contained in Flash Memory, a silicon chip allows it to be erased and re-written. It provides an easy way to update the software without changing any parts; just simply load the newest software from the network. The following procedures are to update the software: Check software version Enter URL "http:///ver" in your web browser, which will show you the software version. Example: enter "http://192.168.0.
5. Upload the software into NETCOMM NS4540 by FTP "put" command. In FTP session window, enter "put flash.bin" In FTP session window, enter "bye" to quit FTP session. 6. FTP session may freeze for around 1 minute to transfer and automatically upgrade the software. During that time, ping the NETCOMM NS4540 until get a constant reply, which means system had completed upgrading and rebooting, then open the browser to verify the software version been updated.
Appendix C - Update custom web pages NETCOMM NS4540 has a built-in web server, so the web contents are contained in Flash Memory, the same as software parts, allowing erasure and re-write. It provides an easy way to update the web pages --- just simply load and issue command from network (FTP and Telnet). Caution: The update of content page is very sensitive to system operation; therefore, incorrect operation may cause system fail to response to any request.
4) Verify updated contents After uploading the custom pages, open browser to verify the correctness of contents. If not correct, modify the pages and return to previous step to upload again. 5) Save the changes to flash Telnet to the NETCOMM NS4540. And run command "Up -w" to write the complete web pages into flash. The detailed procedures are list as below, 1. Open DOS window 2. Enter "telnet " 3. Enter "root" and "pass" as username and password 4.
Appendix D - Emergency Factory Default In certain circumstance, to restore the server to initial factory default state may be necessary, normally processed through web page (Miscellaneous Operation). If the user can't get into web page (e.g. Missing of Username and Password information), then he/she could use Emergency Factory Default to restore the factory default. Procedures as below: 1. Turn the power off 2. Connect GPIO Input 4 to GND with small wire or switch. 3. Turn the power on.
