2.2.3. Assign Static IP Address

To assign a static IP address to the Ethernet RF Modem, follow the steps outlined below. A static

IP address may be necessary when:

• The Ethernet RF Modem and the host PC are on different subnets

• The Ethernet RF Modem IP address might be changed by a DHCP server

Configure a static IP address on a local network:

1. Install both the X-CTU Software and the Ethernet Com Port Redirector software [Refer to

“Com Port Communications” section - p8]. Re-boot the PC if it has not been re-booted since

the installation of the Ethernet Com Port Redirector.

2. Launch the X-CTU Software and select the “PC Settings” tab; then select the “Ethernet Com

Ports” sub-tab [Figure 2-03]

Æ After the Ethernet Com Port Redirector is installed (and PC is re-booted), a “Setup Com

Port” dialog box will appear the first time the “Ethernet Com Ports” sub-tab is selected. The

following steps are written under the assumption the sub-tab has already been selected at

least one time.

3. Select the “Discover modems” button to display which modems are on-line and which are

not; then click the ‘OK’ button of the “Discover Ethernet Modems” dialog box.

4. Click-on and highlight an Ethernet RF Modem from the ‘Ethernet Com Ports’ list.

5. Select the ‘Com Port Properties’ button [Figure 2-03].

6. Select the ‘Modify’ button of the “Properties” dialog box [Figure 2-05].

7. Type a new IP address; then select the ‘OK’ button [Figure 2-05].

8. Select the ‘OK’ button of the “Properties” dialog box.

9. Select the ‘Apply’ button that is under the ‘Changes’ section of the “Ethernet Com Ports” sub-

tab.

Æ XStream-PKG-E Ethernet RF Modem re-boots and the new IP Address is saved.

sub-tab, select the ‘New Com Port’ button. Follow the steps outlined in the “Ethernet RF

Modem Discovery” section [p9].

2. Type-in the IP Address of the Ethernet Modem and highlight a com port number; then select

the ‘OK’ button.

3. Select the ‘Apply’ button; then re-boot the PC if prompted to do so.

4. Go to the “Ethernet Com Ports” sub-tab of the X-CTU Software’s “PC Settings” tab.

5. Highlight the old com port entry, select the ‘Delete Com Port’ button, then select the ‘Apply’

button.
