Note: The GARD 8000 is delivered with pre-set IP addresses. The front port IP address is
factory set to 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The Rear port IP address is
configurable.
The IP Address assigned to the front port is 192.168.1.1 for every GARD 8000 chassis.
DO NOT plug this port into a LAN. You cannot have more than one device with the same
address on a network. The front port is strictly for direct connection to a Laptop PC. The
Laptop should have an IP Address on the same subnet (192.168.1) as described below.
The front port has no default gateway configured, so it is not routable. This is done for
security purposes.
1. Connect a standard Cat 5 Patch Cable from the RJ-45 Ethernet port on your PC to the front
RJ-45 Ethernet port on the GARD 8000.
2. Configure the IP address of your PC as follows:
a. From a PC desktop, click Start, click Run, type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK.
b. A Network and Dial Up Connection window will appear.
