4.3 Assigning an IP Address
To assign the gateway an IP address, use one of the following methods:
îš„ HTTP using a Web browser (refer to 'Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP' on page
50).
îš„ BootP (refer to 'Assigning an IP Address Using BootP' on page 51).
îš„ Embedded Command Line Interface (CLI) accessed via RS-232 (if supported) or
Telnet (refer to 'Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI' on page 51).
îš„ Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) (refer to the SIP Series Reference Manual).
Use the hardware Reset button at any time to restore the gateway's networking parameters
to their factory default values (refer to 'Restoring Default Settings' on page 260).
4.3.1 Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP
You can assign the gateway an IP address using the gateway's HTTP-based Embedded
Web Server.
¾ To assign an IP address using HTTP, take these 9 steps:
1. Disconnect the gateway from the network and reconnect it to a PC using one of the
following two methods:
• Connect the network interface on your PC to a port on a network hub / switch,
using a standard Ethernet cable. Connect the gateway to another port on the
same network hub / switch, using a second standard Ethernet cable.
• Connect the network interface on your PC directly to the gateway, using an
Ethernet cross-over cable.
2. Change your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to correspond with the gateway's
factory default IP address and subnet mask (for default IP addresses, refer to 'Getting
Started' on page 47).
3. Access the gateway's Embedded Web Server (refer to 'Accessing the Embedded Web
Server' on page 60).
4. Access the ‘Quick Setup’ screen by clicking the Quick Setup menu.
5. Define the gateway's ‘IP Address’, ‘Subnet Mask’, and ‘Default Gateway IP Address’
fields to correspond with your network IP settings.
6. Click the Reset button, and then at the prompt, click OK; the gateway applies the
changes and restarts. When implementing Mediant 2000 with two modules, repeat
steps 3 to 5 for the second module; otherwise, skip to Step 7.
7. Disconnect your PC from the gateway or from the hub / switch (depending on the
connection method used in Step 1).
8. Reconnect the gateway and your PC (if necessary) to the network.
9. Restore your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to their original settings. If necessary,
restart your PC and re-access the gateway via the Embedded Web Server with its
newly assigned IP address.
