Chapter 4 - Step-by-Step Instructions

Please read the entire example and follow the instructions before turning the router on. The router is
programmed to log the super user off after 10 minutes of inactivity. All data not explicitly saved to
memory is then lost. Collecting the data

while

configuring the router will likely cause delays and

frustration.

STEP ONE
The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters
in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.2. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most
column. These parameters will be entered into the router later, after all parameters have been chosen. Each
parameter in this menu is explained in more detail in chapter 5 of the Installation Manual.
