For example:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:12:AF:FF:FF:FF

inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1

RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:256

5. Temporarily change the IP address to one that will enable connection to your local network.

For example, type “ifconfig eth0 10.10.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0.” Only add the netmask if the netmask is

anything other than the standard 255.255.255.0

6. Verify that the IP address is changed by typing “ifconfig” again.

Note that these changes are only temporary, and if the module is reset the IP address will return to the normal

default (192.168.0.XXX).

7. Open Internet Explorer and ensure that settings will allow you to connect to the IP address selected. If the PC

uses a proxy server, ensure that Internet Explorer will bypass the proxy server for local addresses.

This option may be modified by opening Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab -> LAN Settings->Proxy

Server -> bypass proxy for local addresses.

8. Enter the IP address for the 245U-E into the Internet Explorer address bar.

For example, if you changed the temporary address in step 5 to “10.10.0.6,” you would enter http://10.10.0.6.

Enter the username “user” and default password “user”.

You should now be connected to the main index page on the modem.

9. Connect to the Network page and change the Ethernet interface and Wireless interface IP addresses to

10.10.0.6.

10. Switch the RUN/SETUP switch back to RUN and click Save Changes and Reset.

NOTE Because the modem can be setup in various ways (such as a bridge or router) this setup will

allow the modem to appear on the 10.10.0.X network. Any other conﬁguration changes can be made

after this initial connection (see the following sections on conﬁguration).
