I believe there is a similar screen in the NIM-100. Connect a PC directly to the NIM-100. Do an IPCONFIG /RELEASE and /RENEW on the PC. The PC should assign itself a 169.254.1.x address. Browse to »169.254.1.1 You should be presented with the NIM-100 login screen. The password is "entropic" (without quotes). •Go to the STATUS screen. •Click on GET LINK STATUS.
I'm not sure it works like that.
See updated posts in the original thread regarding connecting to a NIM, when there are other NIMs or a DHCP server on the coax. »Re: Will this NIM100-like device work?
