Complex Network

If the network includes additional PCs, connections to additional net-

works, etc., or if there is more than one Broadlinx board, then the

factory default network settings of the board(s) will need to be adjusted

to avoid conflicts.

1.

Make the PC's network settings compatible with the Broadlinx

board's default values:

a.

Set the PC's network TCP/IP address to 192.168.253.201 and the

subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. All other TCP/IP network

settings are irrelevant at this point.

b.

Reboot the PC to apply the changes.
If desired, you can use the MS-DOS ipconfig command to

verify the settings.
These PC settings can be changed back to their previous values

after the Broadlinx board has been configured.
You must have admin privileges to change Internet settings on

a Windows 2000 PC.

2.

If there is a secondary Broadlinx board installed, unseat the board.

3.

The primary Broadlinx board should be booted (or rebooted) at this

time. One way to do this is to unseat and reseat the board:

a.

To re-insert the board, keep the ejector levers spread apart and

slide the board in until the levers make contact.Then fold the

levers toward each other to seat the board.

b.

Wait for the board to boot up fully (as indicated by the

“spinning” pattern of the LEDs on the front edge of the board).

4.

At the PC, start Microsoft Internet Explorer.

5.

The Explorer Proxy setting must be turned off.
To check the Proxy setting, go to Tools > Internet Options > Connec-

tions > LAN Settings.

6.

Enter the factory default URL (board IP address):

http://192.168.253.200

You should see the main Broadlinx web page (as shown on

page 162

).

7.

Press the “Configure” button to navigate to the Configuration page

(

Figure 93

). You should see the current Network Interface

parameters. Your parameters will differ from those of the figure.
