3-5
and reachable DHCP server replies within 30 seconds, the SPEEDLAN 9200 will use
the IP address, netmask, (etc.) that the DHCP server provides. Otherwise, the
unconfigured SPEEDLAN 9200 will adopt a private network IP address 192.168.69.1
and a /24 netmask (255.255.255.0).
If a DHCP server is not used, it is recommended that the SPEEDLAN 9200 router and
the client PC be on the same subnet. Otherwise, the ability to configure intervening
routers may be required.
If the SPEEDLAN 9200 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 9200.
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 9200. 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.
