Changing the IP address
You can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0 (LAN). Within this example a network
192.168.1.1/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 192.168.1.1 (you should set this
the IP address given to you by your network provider).
Trinity# configure
Trinity[config]# interface ethernet eth0
Trinity[eth-eth0]# no ip address 192.168.200.10
Trinity[eth-eth0]# ip address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-vol-
atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.

The IpLink can now be connected to your network.
3. Connecting the IpLink to the network
In general, the IpLink will connect to the network via the LAN (ETH 0) port. This enables the IpLink to offer
routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 1) port. The IpLink 2884/2888 Series is equipped with Auto-
MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections.
You can check the connection with the ping command from the IpLink to another host on the network.
Trinity#ping
Note If the WAN address is not set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local
LAN you must first configure the default gateway.
