Obtain IP address and test

Ethernet connection

1. Restart the PC so it obtains an IP address from the DW6000.

Or use the command

ipconfig /renew

from a DOS

command line prompt.

2. The embedded DHCP server assigns IP address =

192.168.0.2 to the PC. The default Gateway address is set to
192.168.0.1. Figure 12 shows a sample Windows TCP/IP
Properties screen. (These may vary among different Windows
operating systems.)

Make sure the installer PC can communicate with the DW6000
over the Ethernet connection. Enter

Ping <192.168.0.1>

at a

DOS prompt. Figure 13 shows a successful attempt; Figure 14
shows an unsuccessful attempt. If the PC fails to ping the
DW6000
, there are issues with either the PC’s NIC or TCP/IP
configuration.

Note:

In countries outside North America, the DW6000 may be

plugged, with a physical adapter, directly into a 220 V outlet.
Different countries may have different standards and requirements.

Note:

Whenever the LEDs do not function properly as described

above, check to be sure you have the correct power supply, PN
1031105-0001.
