IPCP 505 • Software-based Configuration and Control 22
Conguring the IPCP for Network Use Via a Web Browser
The default web pages that are preloaded on the IPCP505 are compatible with popular
web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher) or Mozilla Firefox
(version 1.0 or higher). However, the IPCP and the PC must both be part of the same
subnet before they can communicate. You must change the IP address of the PC to one
that is on the same subnet as the default IP address of the IPCP505 (192.168.254.254).
NOTES:
• This method requires connecting the IPCP to the LAN port of the PC using a
crossover network cable (see page 13 for cabling details).
• Make a note of the host TCP/IP configuration of the PC before changing its IP
address and make sure the PC and IPCP are on the same subnet.
1. Temporarily change the IP address of the host PC. See Setting up the PC for IP
communication with an IPCP505 on page 23 for step-by-step instructions.
2. Obtain a valid IP address for the controller from your network administrator.
3. Launch the web browser on the connected PC (for which you set up the network
configuration earlier), and enter http://192.168.254.254/ in the address box. The
default web page of the IPCP505 is displayed.
4. Select the Configuration tab (see figure 15,
a
).
5. Select System Settings from the menu on the left of the screen (see figure 15,
b
).
A web page appears.

6. Set the IPCP for the new IP address using either step 6a or step 6b.
a. Enter the new IP address for the IPCP505, the corresponding subnet mask, and
the gateway address (see
Ñ
). IP addresses and subnet masks follow standard
naming and numbering conventions. The IP network administrator should provide
the IP addresses and subnet mask to be used with this controller.
b. Select DHCP On (see
Ö
).
7. Click Submit (see
d
). It takes a minute or more for the controller to store the new
settings. Once the controller’s IP address is changed, you lose communication with the
controller.
8. Close the browser.
9. After changing the IP settings of the controller, change the TCP/IP settings of the PC
back to their original configuration.
