Step 5: Selecting An IP Address For Your Network
NOTE:
Consult your network administrator for a valid IP address.
The transmitter comes with the default address 192.168.0.1 while the receiver’s default address is
192.168.0.2. Before operating the system inside your own network, you need to set a valid IP address.

Use a terminal program attached at the RS-232 control terminal port to change the IP address.
Refer to the
Configuration Using A Terminal Program
section for a description of IP address configuration
using a terminal program.
Step 6: Using A Web Browser To Configure The Network
Configure the network using a web browser. Start your web browser and connect to the URL
http://IP-Address, where IP-Address is the IP address of the unit you want to configure. Use the
standard dot-separated format (x.x.x.x) to enter the address.
