Analog Fast Track Guide 3. Configuring the MediaPack
Version 5.0 19 October 2006
5. Click the Reset button, and then at the prompt click OK; the MediaPack applies the changes
and restarts. This takes approximately two minutes to complete. When the MediaPack has
finished restarting, the Power and Ready LEDs on the front panel are lit green.
6. Disconnect your PC from the MediaPack or from the hub / switch (depending on the
connection method you used in Step 1).
7. Reconnect the MediaPack and your PC (if necessary) to the network.
8. Restore your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to their original settings. If necessary, restart
your PC and re-access the MediaPack via the Embedded Web Server with its newly
assigned IP address.
Tip: Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the MediaPack.
Do the same when defining new username or password. If the Embedded Web
Server is unavailable (for example, if you’ve lost your username and password),
use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device, “reflash” the load
and reset the password (refer to the MediaPack User’s Manuals for detailed
information on using a BootP/TFTP server to access the device).
3.1.2 Assigning an IP Address Using BootP
Tip 1: BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible BootP
server.
Tip 2: You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the MediaPack (refer to the
product’s User’s Manual).
¾ To assign an IP address using BootP, take these 12 steps:
1. Open the BootP application (supplied with the software package).
2. Click the Edit Clients icon
; the ‘Client Configuration’ screen is displayed.
3. Click the Add New Client icon
; a client with blank parameters is displayed (Figure 3-1).
4. In the ‘Client MAC’ field, enter the MAC address of the gateway. The MAC address is printed
on a label located on the underside of the MediaPack.
5. Verify that the check box to the right of the ‘Client MAC’ field is selected. This enables the
particular client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP
requests).
6. In the ‘Client Name’ field, enter a descriptive name for this client so that it's easier to
remember which gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
7. In the ‘IP’ field, enter the IP address you want to apply to the gateway. Use the normal dotted
decimal format.
8. In the ‘Subnet’ field, enter the subnet mask you want to apply to the gateway. Use the
normal dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is
incorrect, the gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is
applied.
9. In the ‘Gateway’ field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you do not know the IP
address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
10. Click Apply to save this entry to the list of clients.
11. Click OK; the ‘Client Configuration’ screen is closed.
12. Use the reset button (located on the MediaPack's rear panel) to physically reset the gateway
causing it to use BootP; the device changes its network parameters to the values provided
by the BootP.
