Determine ZyWAN network address (DHCP)

Port 1 on the ZyWAN is typically set to acquire its address automatically using DHCP.

Since the address is dynamically assigned, the ZyWAN address must be determined

before it can be configured.

One way to check the ZyWAN network address is to use a crossover (null modem)

serial cable between the PC and the ZyWAN. The null modem cable can be purchased

from Eurotech Ltd, or it may be obtained from an electronics supply store.

If your network administrator can determine the DHCP assigned address after

the ZyWAN starts up, the serial cable is not needed. Just skip to the next

section,

Browse ZyWAN configuration page on page 26.

To determine the ZyWAN network address (DHCP):

1 Select the Windows Start menu, Programs, Accessories, Communications,

2 Enter a name for this HyperTerminal configuration, as shown below:

3 Set the Connect using option to COM1, or whatever free RS-232 port exists on this
