Hotwire 5446 RTU IP Setup
The Hotwire 5446 RTU hardware installation is now complete. Additional steps are
required by the NSP to utilize the DSL and Ethernet connections.
Network Service Provider Example
The ISP:
H Assigns and sets up the RTU IP address and subnet mask.
H Assigns the IP address and subnet mask for each end-user system connected to
the 5446 RTU.
To configure the end-user system, the following is used:
H IP address
H Subnet mask
H Default gateway*
*In most cases, the 5446 RTU is the upstream default gateway for all connected
end-user systems. The other option is to connect a router between the 5446 RTU
and the end-user system.
Example using TCP/IP Network Settings with Windows 95:
Set up the network configuration. Use the network settings in the Windows environment
to enter the default gateway, IP address, and subnet mask.
1. To configure the end-user system, from the Control Panel window, select:
Network
→
Configuration
→
TCP/IP
2. From the TCP/IP Properties window, select Gateway and enter the 5446 RTU’s
IP address.
3. From the IP Address
window, enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask. Select OK.
NOTE:
Any application supported by the NSP should now start up.
