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 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 96.
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
Communications Program” on page 95.
