Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
Procedure 8: Set the IP Address
42 | SmartBits 600x/6000x Installation Guide
Default IP Address Connection
To establish a default IP Address connection, you need to connect the chassis directly to a
PC using the white, 10-foot (3.048 m), RJ-45 Ethernet crossover cable (Spirent part
number 620-0083-001), included in your SmartBits shipment.
To connect the chassis to a PC using the crossover cable:
1 Locate the blue, 10-foot, RJ-45 Ethernet crossover cable included in your SmartBits
package.
2 Plug the chassis to its power source.
3 Turn the chassis ON ( I ).
4 Connect the crossover cable between the SmartBits chassis’ Ethernet Management
Port (10/100BASE-T) connector and the PC NIC card.
5 Reconfigure the PC to use the same Subnet as the SmartBits chassis (example:
reconfigure the NIC card to 192.168.0.101 with a Mask of 255.255.255.0).
6 If needed, reset the PC in order for the new IP address to take effect. (For some PC
operating systems this step is necessary.)
7 Verify that the status light on the front of the chassis is green (see Tab le 3-1 on
page 71).
8 When the PC is ready, use the DOS prompt and ping the SmartBits chassis (see
“Pinging the SmartBits IP Address” on page 52). At the DOS prompt type in:
> ping 192.168.0.100.
Important: If the ping does not work, refer to the following sections of this manual for
more information:
• Check that your cable connection is in place from “Procedure 4: Connect SmartBits
to PC, Power, and LAN” on page 34.
• “Checking the TCP/IP Stack/Address/Gateway on Your PC” on page 53.
• “Procedure 9: Confirm the Ethernet Link” on page 51.
• Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting and Maintenance.”
You may now connect a SmartBits application (such as SmartWindow) to the chassis.
