Connect via persistent static IP address
Your Pearl has a default persistent static IP address, also known as the recovery IP address. If ever you need
to set it up on a network that does not support DHCP, or you need to recover from a previous static IP
address setting, you can use this method to connect directly to the system for configuration.
To perform this procedure you will need a workstation computer for which you are able to modify network
settings.
Pearl is pre-configured with the following static address defaults:
l
IP Address: 192.168.255.250
l
Netmask: 255.255.255.252
l
Username: admin
l
Password: your admin password (by default set to no password)
To access Pearl's web interface via the persistent static IP address:
1. Establish an Ethernet connection between Pearl and the workstation by one of the following methods:
a. Connect the system to a local Ethernet network shared with the workstation.
b. Connect the system directly to the workstation’s Ethernet port using either a regular or a
crossover Ethernet cable.
2. Record the network settings of the workstation being used to connect to Pearl so that they can be
restored later.
3. Temporarily change the network configuration on the workstation to the following:
a. Use Static IP assignment
b. IP address: 192.168.255.249
c. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
