Important Safety Information

Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly.

Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive.

General Instructions

Static IP Configuration

Reference: Refer to Special Instruction, REHS7346, "793F CMD Setup and Configuration Guide", for instructions on how to set a static IP address.

Set the static IP address of the computer as follows:

IP Address : 165.26.78.133

Subnet mask : 255.255.254.0

Default Gateway : 165.26.78.1

Note: Remember after flashing and setting up the router to remove the static IP configuration by returning the router to the previous configuration.

Note: You will not be able to ping your router until the router has been flashed and properly configured. Follow the instructions carefully.

Before Configuring A5:N2 Router

Perform the following steps before configuring A5:N2 Router.
