2.7.1 Access the Configuration Menu
RLE recommends using the web-based Configuration Menu to configure communications for
the LD2100. If you’d like to use the EIA-232 interface to access the LD2100, refer to
Section 2.8., “Configure Communications Through the EIA-232 Port” on page 22 .
1 Plug the crossover cable (included with the LD2100) into the computer that will be used to
configure the LD2100.
Note This cable is not intended to be connected to a network hub, and will not work if it is
connected to a hub.
2 Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the
LD2100.
Note Alternatively, you could use the LD2100’s EIA-232 interface to access the LD2100. See
"Configure Communications Through the EIA-232 Port" on page 22 .
3 Write down the computer’s current IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Change
these items temporarily so that the computer can communicate with the LD2100.
4 Access the LD2100 through a Web browser by typing the LD2100’s default IP address
(10.0.0.188) into the location bar and pressing Enter.
