Making initial contact

Note!
• To make initial contact with Fieldgate FXA720, the IP address of your
computer must be temporarily changed to the same domain as the Fieldgate default
address (192.168.253.1).
• If you are unsure of how to do this, consult your system administrator.
• The following applies to Windows XP. For Windows 2000, see BA030SEN
Before starting, the Fieldgate FXA720 must either:
• be installed in the network connected to a switch/hub with a straight cable or
• be connected directly to the computer with a cross-link cable.
1. Right-click "Start => Settings => Control Panel => Network Connections".
2. Right-click "Local Area Connection => Properties"
Using the left mouse button, double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" or
click once, then click "Properties".
3. Now you can enter/change the values and click "OK" to confirm.
– Enter e.g. 192.168.253.2
(in this example, an address 192.168.253.2 – 254 is valid)
– Enter a subnet mask, e.g. 255.255.255.0
