Hitron CGNM/ CGNM-3552 User’s Guide

1.4 IP Address Setup

Before you log into the CGNM/ CGNM-3552’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the CGNM/ CGNM-3552. This allows your computer to communicate with the CGNM/ CGNM-3552.

NOTE: See IP Addresses and Subnets on page 33 for background information.

The CGNM/ CGNM-3552 has a built-in DHCP server that, when active, assigns IP addresses to computers on the LAN. When the DHCP server is active, you can get an IP address automatically. The DHCP server is active by default.

If your computer is configured to get an IP address automatically, or if you are not sure, try to log in to the CGNM/ CGNM-3552 (see

GUI Overview on page 12).

If the login screen displays, your computer is already configured correctly.

If the login screen does not display, either the CGNM/ CGNM-3552’s DHCP

server is not active or your computer is not configured correctly. Follow the procedure in Manual IP Address Setup on page 10 and set your computer to get an IP address automatically. Try to log in again. If you cannot log in, follow the manual IP address setup procedure again, and set a specific IP address as shown. Try to log in again.

NOTE: If you still cannot see the login screen, your CGNM/ CGNM-3552’s IP

settings may have been changed from their defaults. If you do not know the CGNM/ CGNM-3552’s new address, you should return it to its factory defaults. See Factory Default Resetting the CGNM/ CGNM-3552 on page 14. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are lost.

1.4.1 Manual IP Address Setup

By default, your CGNM/ CGNM-3552’s local IP address is 192.168.0.1. If your CGNM/ CGNM-3552 is using the default IP address, you should set your computer’s IP address to be between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254.

NOTE: If your CGNM/ CGNM-3552 DHCP server is active, set your computer to get

an IP address automatically in step 5. The CGNM/ CGNM-3552 assigns an IP address to your computer. The DHCP server is active by default.

INTRODUCTION

Hitron CGNM/ CGNM-3552 User’s Guide

Take the following steps to manually set up your computer’s IP address to connect to the CGNM/ CGNM-3552:

NOTE: This example uses Windows XP; the procedure for your operating system
