General Functions of the Configurator 3-5
If the SPEEDLAN 9000 that is not configured and the client PC are on the same LAN,
their IP address should be configured compatibly (same IP network and netmask). This
can be accomplished by either:
1 The client PC obtaining its IP address from the same DHCP server as the
SPEEDLAN 9000.
2 Statically set the client's PC IP address to 192.168.69.x (x is in the range of 2 -
254) and its netmask to /24 (255.255.255.0).
• If you selected option #1 above, follow these general directions:
Open the Control Panel, and then double-click the Network and Dial-up
Connections icon. Go to TCP/IP Protocol Properties to select the Obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server option. Then, accept changes and close
this dialog box. Then, restart your computer.
• If you selected option #2 above, follow these general directions:
Open the Control Panel, and then double-click the Network and Dial-up
Connections icon. Go to TCP/IP Protocol Properties to verify that your PC is
on the same network as the router 192.168.69.x (x is in the range of 2 -
254), and the subnet mask should be /24 (255.255.255.0). If you made
changes, accept the changes and close this dialog box. Then, restart your
computer.
Before continuing you should verify that the client PC has TCP/IP connectivity with the
SPEEDLAN 9000. The most common way to do this is to run 'ping' 192.168.69.1
(or the DHCP assigned address) at a command-line prompt. This ping command is
available in a Windows 9x DOS prompt, a Windows 2000 / NT / XP command
prompt, or any Unix console.
Configuring the SPEEDLAN 9000
Once your PC can access the SPEEDLAN 9000, you can open the client's browser and
enter the IP address of the SPEEDLAN 9000 router. If using DHCP and DNS, it may be
possible to refer to the SPEEDLAN 9000 router by its name.
Note: SPEEDView gives you a "management" view of the network. You will use the
SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator (web browser) to configure the 9000 routers. If you
want to configure a router in SPEEDView, just double-click any router and it will open
the SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator. For more information about SPEEDView, see Using
SPEEDView, page 8-1.
