IP Recovery (Appendix B)-2
What is IP Recovery?
Primary Use: If you changed the IP address on the router and forgot it, you can find the
configured IP address of the Ethernet interface using IP Recovery.
Secondary Use:
If after learning the IP address of the Ethernet interface, you cannot
log on to the router using the HTML Configurator (SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator), then
you will be able set a temporary Ethernet IP address so that a connection can made.
This will allow you to troubleshoot the problem. It does not change the existing IP
address on the Ethernet. After you have fixed/checked the settings on the router, reboot
the router and the temporary IP address will be removed. The real IP address will be
functioning again.
Note: You can also perform a power transmit test. For more information, see page 6 of
this chapter.
