3�2�4 Creating a search path
Still in the DOS window, type this command:
route add –p 10.0.48.94 X.X.X.X
and press Enter. (Replace X.X.X.X with your computer's IP address). Your computer will now act as a
gateway for WMPro. The "-p" option means that the setting is permanent.
You can remove it with "route delete". If you miss out the "–p", the setting will disappear when you
restart the computer. If you are using Windows XP with a direct connection, you should use "–p",
otherwise the setting will disappear when the WMPro restarts.
3�2�5 Check that the address is free
Before connecting the WMPro to the network, make sure the default IP address is free . Check that
the address is not in use by typing the following command in the DOS window:
ping 10�0�48�94
If the address is free, you will see "Request timed out" in the result. If the result is "Reply from
10�0�48�94: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128" (or something like it) the default IP address is already
in use. In this case you will need to change the basic conguration with a direct connection as de-
scribed in 3.3.
