Getting Started (continued)

Network Settings

To use the DX-E401correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings

of your computers. The default IP address of the DX-E401 is 192.168.0.1, and

the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed

as needed, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP

environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to

Configuring Your PCs to Connect to the DX-E401 to configure it.

For example:

Configure your computer IP as 192.168.0.3, subnet mask as

255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.0.1.

Or more conveniently

Configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically

from the DHCP server feature of the DX-E401.

Since the IP address of the DX-E401 is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your

computer must be 192.168.0.X (where “X” is a number between 2 and 254.)

Each computer on your network must have a different IP address within that

range. The default gateway must be 192.168.0.1 (the IP address of the DX-

E401).

Configuring the DX-E401

The DX-E401 provides an embedded Web-based management utility making

it operating system independent. You can configure your DX-E401 through the

Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browser in MS Windows,

Macintosh, Linux or UNIX based platforms. All that is needed is a web browser

such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator version 4 and higher with Java

Script enabled.

Start-up and Log in

Activate your web browser and type in the IP address of the DX-E401 into the

Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press “Enter.” The default

IP address of the DX-E401 is 192.168.0.1

For example: http://192.168.0.1
