The IP address of the various units should be

congured 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 congure the unit, connect it physically to the

LAN, power it and run the browser Microsoft Internet

Explorer® version 6.0 or above.
