  1. Establish a maintenance connection to FD70.
  2. To check the port settings, type the following:
    get eth0
  3. Change the user level:
    level 1
  4. Select whether to use DCHP or a static IP address:
    • To use DHCP, type the following:

      set eth0.address.dhcp ON

      The device is automatically allocated an IP address, a subnet mask, default gateway, and domain name server.

      When using DCHP, use a network management tool to find out the IP address of your device.

      Alternatively, type the command GET eth0.address.ip1 through a serial port using terminal software.

      Continue to 6.

    • To use a static IP address, type the following:

      set eth0.address.dhcp OFF

      Continue to 5.

  5. Configure the network settings:
    set eth0.address.ip1 <IP address>
    set eth0.address.nm1 <subnet mask>
    set eth0.address.gw1 <Internet gateway>

    Configure the domain name server and network time protocol servers as needed.

    set eth0.address.dns1 <DNS server>
    set time.sync.ntp1 <NTP server>
  6. Reset the device:
    reset
