Setting a Static or Dynamic IP Address

Prior to configuring your Blue Heat/Net, you must set a static or dynamic IP address. The default

IP address of a new Blue Heat/Net is 192.168.42.1. If there is a possibility that this has been

changed, you will need to find the current IP address setting before you begin.

The easiest way to get the IP address of your Blue Heat/Net is as follows:

Follow the steps outlined in the section Installing the Blue Heat/Net Configuration Manager,

noting your Blue Heat/Net’s IP number (i.e. A.B.C.D) using the Auto Discover Blue Heat/Net

feature.

Set the IP Address using the Web Configuration Manager

NOTE: If you use the Windows Configuration Manager

and use Auto Discover to locate your Blue Heat/Net on

the network, you can right-click and launch the Web

Configuration Manager from there.

You only need to use the route add command if you

choose not to use the Configuration Manager found on

the CD that accompanied your Blue Heat/Net.

From the command prompt of your computer, run: route add A.B.C.0 mask 255.255.255.0 <current

IP of your host machine> Be sure to replace the .D from the Blue Heat/Net’s IP with a 0 (zero).

Open your browser and put the Blue Heat/Net’s IP in the address bar (i.e. A.B.C.D) This will

open the WCM.

change the IP to 0.0.0.0 if you are using a DHCP assigned IP.

Set the IP Address using the Serial Configuration Manager

Insert your CD into the computer. The Driver/Software Installation menu should appear. If it

doesn’t, double-click on ctisetup.htm.

Click View in the Blue Heat/Net Software section and then Connect in the Serial Configuration

Manager section. This will launch HyperTerminal that comes with Windows XP.

Unplug the power to the Blue Heat/Net and plug it back in. Light indicators 1 to 8 (or 1 to 4)

will blink sequentially. This sequential flashing will last for 30 seconds. You must log in during

this window.

During this sequential flashing, type the word password into the HyperTerminal window. Be

careful you don’t miss the window of opportunity to enter the password.

You now have access to the Serial Configuration Manager (SCM). An scm> prompt is ready to

accept commands. If you do not see this prompt, unplug the power and repeat the steps above.

If you wish to set a dynamic IP address enter the following:

net dhcp=yes

save

exit

If you wish to set a static IP address, enter the following, substituting xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the

static IP you wish to assign:

net mip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

save

exit

Close the HyperTerminal. You may now disconnect the RJ-45 cable from your PC and connect

it to any serial device.
