Assigning a temporary IP address
1 Find the MAC address on the label affixed to one side of the splitter box.
Example: 00-20-4A-xx-xx-xx
2 Using a PC running Windows (for Windows XP select Start/All Programs/
Accessories/Command Prompt), enter an ARP command line as follows:
The indicated IP address is a temporary address which will allow configuring
the box according to the procedure specified in paragraph 2.2.1. Choose
preferably an address which will be compatible with the IP address of your
computer, in order to avoid reconfiguring the computer's IP address during
the next steps. For example, if the computer is configured with the IP
address 192.168.0.1, you can choose the IP address 192.168.0.10.
3 Open a Telnet connection on port 1. The splitter box will temporarily modify
its IP address to adopt the one designated at this step.
Nota : Ignore the error message (Connecting.. Failed) that appears after the
opening of a Telnet connection on port 1.
CAUTION
UNINTENDED OPERATION
The product is factory-configured with the IP address 192.168.0.10. This
address is reserved for new equipment and may not be used during operation.
If the splitter box IP address is known (new splitter box or a splitter box already
configured and whose IP Address we want to change), go directly to the previous
section (see section ).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.
