2.3 Installation
Preparation for Installation
Before the permanent install of the EzBridge 5800 the unit must be preconfigured within reach of a computer/laptop. The configuration of the EzBridge 5800 is no different than setting up a regular EzBridge. Please ensure that all the items listed in “1.4 System Requirements” are prepared, and then choose the pl ace with the consideration of power outlet and network connection to do the permanent install.
Hardware Installation
Follow the procedures below to fully install your EzBridge 5800:
1. Select proper location.
2. Mount the EzBridge by following the mounting instruction included in the EzBridge Kit.
3. Connect the Ethernet port on the NEMA4 box to the ODU side of the PoE. Then connect the NET side to the internal Network. After both are connected connect the power adapter to the power jack on the PoE to power on the EzBridge 5800. You may want to do a quick on on the LEDs to ensure the unit is getting power.
4. Now the hardware installation is complete, and you may proceed to the next chapter –“Configuring Windows for IP Networking” for instruction on setting up network co nfigurations.
Configuring Windows for IP Networking
To establish a communication between your PCs and the EzBridge 5800, you will need to set up a static IP address for your computer first. This section helps you configure the network settings for your operating system. Please follow the procedures below to complete the settings:
2.4 Windows 98/Me
1. Click Start on the taskbar and choose Control Panel from the submenu of Settings.
2. Select Network to open the Network dialog box, and then under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card.
3. Click Properties to open the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
4. Click the IP Address tab and choo se Specify an IP address. For example, type in 192.168.1.X in the IP Address (where X is any free IP number from 1-254, excluding 99) area and 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask area. To ensure the system is now using the IP address you specify, restart the computer.
Note: Again the IP address must be in the format of 192.168.1.x. Where the value of X should be ranged from 1 to 254 excluding 99.
5. Click OK, and then restart the system.
2.5 Windows 2000
1. Click Start on the taskbar and choose Network and Dial-up Connection from the submenu of Settings.
2. Double-click the Local Area Connection open the Local Area Connection Properties box.
3. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for your network card, and then click Properties to open the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
4. Under the General tab, choose Use the following IP address, and then specify an IP addre ss. For example, type in 192.168.1.X in the IP Address (where X is any free IP number from 1-254, excluding 99) area and
255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask area.
Note: Again the IP address must be in the format of 192.168.1.x. Where the value of X should be ranged from 1 to 254 excluding 99.
5. Click OK.
2.6 Windows XP
1. Click Start on the taskbar and choose Network from the submenu of Control Panel.
2. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon and then choose Properties from the menu. You should see the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box shown below.
3. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for your network card, and then click Properties.
4. In the opened dialog box, choose Use the following IP address
5. Under the General tab, choose Use the following IP address, and then specify an IP addre ss. For example, type in 192.168.1.X in the IP Address (where X is any free IP number from 1-254, excluding 99) area and
255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask area.
Note: Again the IP address must be in the format of 192.168.1.x. Where the value of X should be ranged from 1 to 254, excluding 99.
