4. Connect FaxFinder to Ethernet Network. Plug one end of your RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the FaxFinder's
Ethernet port (labeled LAN1) and the other end into your network Ethernet hub. This Ethernet cable is
not included with your FaxFinder unit.
Warning:
Before connecting to the Ethernet Network, determine if the network is a 192.168.2.x subnet. FaxFinder's
factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1. Connecting the FaxFinder to a network that has a different device
at the same IP address will cause data interference.
If your existing Ethernet network uses a 192.168.2.x subnet, connect from the Administrative PC to the
FaxFinder using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable and configure the FaxFinder's IP address to an IP address currently
available on the Ethernet network. (Refer to Configuring FaxFinder's IP address and Network Settings.)
When the FaxFinder's IP address has been configured, you can connect the FaxFinder into the network.
5. Use the RJ-11 cables to connect individual ports to either a PBX or POTS lines.
