You must use Global Configurator version 2.2 or
later to configure the System 5 IP. Using an earlier
version (2.0.0 through 2.1.x) risks damage to the
products. Immediately update any existing switchers
configured with older versions of the software. See
"Installing the Software" in chapter 1 for instructions
on how to install GC 2.2.
