of the ethernet cable, page22).
The IP address of the various units should be
congured using a PC with a Microsoft Windows Xp®
service pack 2 or Microsoft Windows Vista® (Business
Edition or Enterprise Edition) OS and Microsoft
Internet Explorer® software.
Set the IP address of the PC as 192.168.0.1 (or
192.168.0.2 etc.).
To congure the unit, connect it physically to the
LAN, power it and run the browser Microsoft Internet
Explorer® version 6.0 or above.
To set the IP address of the various units,
