Installation
IP Conguration
The AT-GAIN-60 is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server (if available), will
automatically assign an IP address to the unit. Execute the arp -a command at the Windows command line or use an
IP scanner to locate the AT-GAIN-60 on the network.
If the AT-GAIN-60 is unable to detect a DHCP server, within 15 seconds, then the unit will be assigned the following
IP conguration:
• IP address 192.168.1.254
• Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
• Gateway 192.168.1.1
If a static IP address is desired, the unit can be switched to static IP mode. Use one of the following procedures to
switch between DHCP and static IP mode. 192.168.1.254 is the default static IP address.
Using the Rear Panel
1. Make sure the AT-GAIN-60 is powered.
2. Press and hold the INPUT button for approximately 10 seconds.
3. Release the IP RESET button once the PWR LED indicator on the front panel begins to ash. The number of
ashes will indicate the currently selected IP mode.
