Setting Network Parameters without ESP

The following example is based on a default IP address of 169.254.33.228 for the MS-Connect 210 Ethernet module.

  • Determine the host computer's IP address on the host network.

-Go to the Start menu, select Run, type cmd, and type Enter.

-Type ipconfig at the command prompt.

-Note the IP address of the host computer.

  • At the command prompt, type route add 169.254.33.228 [host computer IP address] and type Enter. This adds the MS-Connect 210's IP address to the host computer's routing table.
  • At the command prompt, type route print and type Enter.

The command prompt will display a list similar to the following:

  • Look for the default IP address in the Network Destination column. If it does not appear there, contact your IT department.
  • At the command prompt, type telnet [MS-Connect 210 IP address] 9999 and type Enter.
  • At the Telnet prompt, type Enter.
  • To configure the IP address in the Telnet session, type 0 and Enter.

Note: "Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Port" will appear in the command prompt. This defines the number of cleared bits ("0" bits) in the LSB (least significant bit) of the 32-bit Netmask, starting at the right.

Example: 255.255.255.0 = 8 "0" bits

255.255.0.0. = 16 "0" bits

255.0.0.0 = 24 "0" bits

  • Follow the command prompts to configure the IP address.
  • When done, type 9 and Enter to save settings.
  • At the command prompt, type ping [MS-Connect 210 IP address] and type Enter.
  • If the MS-Connect 210 responds to the pings, it is ready to communicate.
