Editing the FEP4600.INI File

The FEP-4600 ships with a default IP address of 192.168.0.46. You can use this address
as is, providing that you connect to the platform with a PC configured for a compatible
address using a crossover cable or an appropriate hub. However, if you prefer to connect
the FEP-4600 to your existing IP network and assign it a different IP address, you can
override the existing IP address by editing the FEP4600.ini file found on the floppy that
is included with the FEP-4600 when it ships. If the original diskette that ships with the
product cannot be located, the file may be created with the entries as shown below, and
saved to a floppy using the FEP4600.ini file name.

[Network]
IP=192.168.0.46
NetMask=255.255.255.0
DefaultGateway=192.168.0.254

Notes regarding FEP4600.ini file entries:

1.

No white space is allowed within the entries (spaces or tabs).

2.

The data is not case sensitive.

3.

The diskette is not required for future reboots (once an IP address has been
configured and saved) and should be removed after the initial load.

4.

If the diskette is in the drive when the FEP-4600 is powered up in the future,
the values within the file will override any settings saved on the hard drive.

5.

Obviously, select values that are compatible with your network, and
specifically the device that will be used to configure your platform.
