Connection to the ONS 15454
Step 1 If your computer is already connected to the corporate LAN, go to Step 3. If you changed your
computer’s network settings for craft access to the ONS 15454, change the settings back to the corporate
LAN access settings. This generally means:

(Windows 98) or Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, or XP).
• If your LAN requires that Domain Name System (DNS) or Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS) be enabled, change the setting on the DNS Configuration or WINS Configuration tab of the
TCP/IP dialog box.
Step 2 Connect a straight-through (CAT-5) LAN cable from the PC or Solaris workstation NIC card to a
corporate LAN port.
Purpose This procedure sets up your computer to access the ONS 15454 through a
