4.9 How to Set Up your Computer’s IP Address for Direct Connect
When your computer is connected directly to the RCM2100 board via an Ethernet connec-
tion, you need to assign an IP address to your computer. To assign the PC the address
10.10.6.101 with the netmask 255.255.255.0, do the following.
Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel to bring up the Control Panel, and then dou-
ble-click the Network icon. Depending on which version of Windows you are using, look
for the TCP/IP Protocol/Network > Dial-Up Connections/Network line or tab. Double-
click on this line or select Properties or Local Area Connection > Properties to bring
up the TCP/IP properties dialog box. You can edit the IP address and the subnet mask
directly. (Disable “obtain an IP address automatically.”) You may want to write down the
existing values in case you have to restore them later. It is not necessary to edit the gate-
way address since the gateway is not used with direct connect.
