ePowerSwitch-D4 Quick Start Guide V.01/2004
2. Configuration of the ePowerSwitch
To use the ePowerSwitch on your network you must first configure its network parameters. To
know the parameters to use ask your network administrator.
There are three different methods to configure the ePowerSwitch:
Method 1 :
Through a network using the ePowerSwitch Finder Program (on the delivered CD).
It is the simplest and fastest configuration method if you use Windows as operating system. We
suggest to use this program at least during the first configuration: it allows to configure your
ePowerSwitch through your local network even if its network parameters (IP Address, Subnet
mask and Port) are not compatible with those of your PC or your local network.
If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §3 Configuration using the ePowerSwitch
Finder program.
Method 2 :
Through a network using a Web browser (Internet Explorer > 6.0 and Netscape > 6.1).
This method can only be used if the network parameters of the ePowerSwitch (IP Address,
Subnet mask…) have already been configured either using the ePowerSwitch Finder program
(Method 1) or using a Terminal program (Method 3).
For the first configuration you can also change the Network parameters of your PC according to
the default settings of the ePowerSwitch.
Default Network setting of the ePowerSwitch:
IP Address: 192.168.100.100
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 80
If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §4 Configuration using a Web browser.
Method 3 :
Through a RS232 serial connection using a Terminal connection (see §7 serial port pinout for
the pinout of the serial interface connector).
If you use a PC, use the serial cable delivered with the product and a Terminal program like
HyperTerminal from Microsoft.
If you decide to use this method you can directly go to §4 Configuration using a Terminal
connection.
