4.8 How to Set Up your Computer’s IP Address for Direct Connect
When your computer is connected directly to the RCM3000 board via an Ethernet connec-
tion, you need to assign an IP address to your computer. To assign the PC the address
10.1.1.1 with the subnetmask 255.255.255.248 under Windows 98, do the following.
Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel to bring up the Control Panel, and then dou-
ble-click the Network icon. In the window find the line of the form TCP/IP > Ethernet
adapter name
. Double-click on this line to bring up the TCP/IP properties dialog box.
You can edit the IP address directly and the subnet mask. (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 gateway address since the gateway is not
used with direct connect.
The method of setting the IP address may differ for different versions of Windows, such as
95, NT, or 2000.
