OPERATIONS
This iSE can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference
and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet
Explorer. It can also be configured using the iConnect Configuration Software.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the
right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network
DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to enable DHCP on the iSE (see
Section 2.2) and use a straight network cable to connect the iSE to a hub and power it
up.
If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with
an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the iSE’s default IP address
(192.168.1.200) and connect to the iSE using a cross-over network cable between your
PC’s network port and the iSE. After you’re done with configuring the iSE, you can always
set your PC back to its original settings.
On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and
press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type “ping eisxxxx”, where xxxx are the
last four digits of the iSE’s MAC address, located on the back of the device. You should get
a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.
You can use the iSE host name (eisxxxx) instead of its IP address only if your
DHCP server is configured to communicate with your DNS. Please consult with
your IT department for details.

This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode
using the Telnet or Web browser.
