Connect using persistent static IP address
Pearl Mini has a default persistent static IP address, also known as the recovery IP address . If ever you need
to set up Pearl Mini on a network that does not support DHCP, or you need to recover from a previous static
IP address setting, you can use this procedure to connect directly to the system for configuration.
A workstation computer with access rights to modify your network settings is required.
Pearl Mini static IP address defaults are:
l
IP Address : 192.168.255.250
l
Netmask : 255.255.255.252
l
Username : admin
l
Password : your admin password (by default set to no password)
To access the Admin panel using the persistent static IP address:
1. Establish an Ethernet connection between Pearl Mini and the workstation using one of the following
methods:
a. Connect Pearl Mini to a local Ethernet network shared with the workstation.
b. Connect Pearl Mini directly to the workstation’s Ethernet port using either a regular or a
crossover Ethernet cable.
2. Record the network settings of the workstation that are used to connect to Pearl Mini so that they can
be restored later.
