Each BASgatewayLX contains an interactive web server, accessible from any Internet-
compatible PC on the local network and compatible with recent versions of Internet
Explorer (5.0 or later, suggested) or Netscape Navigator (7.1 or later, required). It is
factory-programmed with a default IP address of 192.168.92.68 and a Class C subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0 (/24).
Figure 10 shows the setup for accessing the EIA-485 network using BASgatewayLX, a
computer for configuration, and a connection to the EIA-485 network.
To configure the BASgatewayLX, attach it to a computer with an Ethernet connection
and a standard web browser. For initial configuration, the PC chosen for the procedure
should temporarily have its IP address modified as illustrated in Figure 11 — which
employs a Windows ® XP example.
The example in Figure 11 suggests an IP address for the PC of 192.168.92.69, but the
final quad of the address could be any value from 3 to 254 — except for 68 which
is used by the BASgatewayLX. After the IP address of the PC has been set to the
same subnet as the BASgatewayLX, a browser running on that PC can then access the
device via its default IP address.
