SETTING UP THE ETHERNET INTERFACE
Setting the IP address – The R198 comes with a default IP address of 192.168.1.2.
One of the following methods can be used to access the device:
Directly connecting a networked host computer
Connect a CAT-5 network crossover cable to the RJ45 port at the back of the R198 and to the
RJ45 port of the network interface card (NIC) of a standalone PC or notebook computer.
Configure the standalone PC to use the static IP address 192.168.1.3 with a net mask of
255.255.255.0. After the R198 powers up it can be accessed via a Web browser on the host
computer.
Launch a Web browser application and direct the URL to http:/192.168.1.2/. The R198 will
provide a gateway page and quickly redirect to the R198 Home page. To edit the R198A’s IP
address type the following IP address; http:/192.168.1.2/setup.html.
LAN connection with a networked host computer
Connect a standard CAT-5 network cable from the RJ45 port at the back of the R198 into a
routing hub or other network-switching device. You will likely need assistance from a network
administrator to insure the R198’s default network address of 192.168.1.2 will be visible on the
network, or will not clash with an existing node. Once the R198 is powered up it can be ac-
cessed via a Web browser from any remote computer on the LAN routed to see the address
192.168.1.2.
