OnCell G3100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration
Static and Dynamic IP Addresses
Determine whether your OnCell G3100 needs to use a static IP address or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or
BOOTP application).
• If your OnCell G3100 is used in a static IP environment, you must assign a specific IP address using
one of the tools described in this chapter.
• If your OnCell G3100 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned
automatically from over the network. In this case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP or BOOTP.
ATTENTION
Consult your network administrator on h
ow to reserve a fixed IP address for your OnCell G3100 in the MAC-
IP
mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. For most applications, you should assign a fixed
IP ad
dress to your OnCell G3100.
Factory Default IP Address
The OnCell G3100 is configured with the following default private IP address:
192.168.127.254
Note that IP addresses that begin with “192.168” are referred to as private IP addresses. Devices configured
with a private IP address are not directly accessible from a public network. For example, you would not be able
to ping a device with a private IP address from an outside Internet connection. If your application requires
sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, your OnCell G3100 will need a valid public IP address,
which can be leased from a local ISP.
Configuration Options
OnCell Search Utility
You may configure your OnCell G3100 with the bundled OnCell Search Utility for Windows. Please refer to
Chapter 15, Software Installation/Configuration, for details on how to install and use OnCell Search Utility.
Web Console
You may configure your OnCell G3100 using a standard web browser. Please refer to Chapter 6, Using the Web
Console, for details on how to access and use the OnCell G3100 web console.
ARP
You may use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your OnCell G3100.
The ARP command tells your computer to associate the OnCell G3100’s MAC address with an IP address.
Afterwards, use Telnet to access the OnCell G3100 and its IP address will be reconfigured.
