Management Computer Setup

This chapter describes how to prepare your computer to access the G-560 web configurator.

2.1 Introduction

You can connect a computer to the G-560 for management purposes either using an Ethernet
connection (recommended for a first time management session) or wirelessly.

2.2 Wired Connection

You must prepare your computer/computer network to connect to the G-560 if you are using a
wired connection. Your computer's IP address and subnet mask must be on the same subnet as
the G-560. This can be done by setting up your computer's IP address.

The following figure shows you an example of accessing your G-560 via a wired connection
with an Ethernet cable.

Figure 6 Wired Connection

192.168.1.33

Default IP Address:

192.168.1.2

2.2.1 Setting Up Your Computer's IP Address

Note: Skip this section if your computer's IP address is already between 192.168.1.3

and 192.168.1.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

Your computer must have a network card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be
installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating
systems. Refer to the appendix about setting up your computer's IP address for other operating
systems.
