E-6 Performing Preliminary Configuration
3. Establish communication with IR-IP and assign the prescribed IP
address to its LAN interface.
4. Establish again communication with IR-IP and continue the preliminary
configuration in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below.
Connecting the
Telnet Host Before starting the management and configuration activities, it is necessary
to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and the IR-IP
interface module. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a
communication path.
Because of the method used to assign an IP address to IR-IP Ethernet port, it
is recommended to connect the Telnet host directly to the IP router
10BASE-T connector. This is made by connecting an Ethernet cross cable
between the Ethernet connector of the Telnet host and the IP router
connector.
However, you may also connect through a common LAN: in this case,
connect your Telnet host and IR-IP to Ethernet hub ports using straight
cables.
Preliminary Telnet
Host
Configuration You can use the IP learning mechanism to configure the IP communication
parameters of the IR-IP LAN interface. In this case, skip to the Assigning the
Router LAN Interface Address section below.
If you prefer to use the factory-default parameters to establish IP
communication between your Telnet host and IR-IP, configure the Telnet
host as follows:
1. Temporarily configure the host IP address as 192.168.205.2.
2. The initial destination IP address to be used by the host is
192.168.205.1.
Note
The first step in the preliminary configuration process is to assign the desired
IP address to the LAN interface of the IR-IP interface module.
After an IP address is assigned and saved, you must change the destination IP
address of the Telnet host to the new address, otherwise it is not possible to
continue the configuration process. At the same time, you can also change
the temporary IP address assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its
permanent address.
Assigning the
Router LAN
Interface Address The IP address of the IR-IP LAN interface must be configured as part of the
preliminary configuration process. To simplify this process, IR-IP includes a
simple and convenient IP address learning mechanism.
The IP address can be configured and changed at any time, even after the
complete IR-IP configuration process has been performed, because it does
not affect other configuration parameters. Moreover, the IP subnet mask is
automatically adapted to the new IP address.
