Connecting to the IF61
By default, the IF61 is configured to be a DHCP client and accepts
offers from any DHCP server. Therefore, the IF61 will work out of the
box if you connect it to your network and use a DHCP server to assign
it an IP address.In this case, you configure the IF61 using the web
browser interface from a desktop PC. For help, see “Using the Web
Browser Interface” on page 11.
However, if you are not using a DHCP server to assign an IP address,
you use a serial communications program such as HyperTerminal to
assign a static IP address. For help, see the next section, “Assigning an
Initial IP Address.”
After the IF61 has been assigned an IP address, connect it to your
network and then complete the configuration by using a web browser
interface from a desktop PC. For help, see “Using the Web Browser
Interface” on page 11.
Assigning an Initial IP Address
Follow this procedure to assign an initial IP address to the IF61. After
you assign the IP address, connect the IF61 to your network and use
the web browser interface to complete the configuration.
To assign an initial IP address
1 Open a serial connection to the IF61. For help, see “Opening a
Serial Connection to the IF61” on page 94.
Note: If configuration via a serial connection has been disabled on the
IF61, you need to restore default settings before you use this
procedure. For more information, see “Using a Serial
Communications Program” on page 93.
