Operator's guide
connect it directly to any computer with a USB socket. When this is
done, the computer treats the module as if it were a standard network
card. For example, to connect the DCM to a PC running Microsoft
Windows, you should:
1. Link the DCM's USB port to any available USB socket on the
computer.
2. After a short wait, Windows should report that a new USB
device has been detected. When prompted to install drivers for
it, you should use the ones provided on CD by Güralp Systems.
Once the “network card” is installed, the two machines form a network
segment, and each one has its own IP address on that segment. See the
next section for details on how to configure TCP/IP on the DCM. If you
wish, you can set up a network bridge between this connection and a
local area network or the Internet as described above.
2.4 Connecting to a local network
The DCM is normally supplied with a 10BaseT Ethernet port. This port
can be used to connect to your local network.
When the DCM starts up, it will try to find a DHCP server on your
network to assign it an IP address.
If you use DHCP on your network, and you want to access the DCM's
Web server or console over the network, you may be able to find out
from the DHCP server which address it has given the DCM, in which
case you can access it directly. Otherwise, you will need to connect to
the DCM over a serial link to find out its IP address.
If you do not use DHCP on your network, you will have to set the DCM
to use a static IP address.
1. Make a temporary serial connection to the DCM from a local PC.

DCM login:
2. Enter root and the administrator password. If you have not
been given a password, the default setting is rootme. The DCM
will reply with a prompt:
[root@DCM ~]#
This verifies that the unit is working properly. You should
