Local Configuration Using a Non-Networked Computer
If you use a non-networked computer to configure the bridge, you must use a crossover cable
to connect the computer to the bridge, and the computer must have a TCP/IP network protocol
and IPSU installed.

1
Connect the bridge and a
non-networked PC with a
crossover cable.
2
Power on both devices.

Double-click the IP Setup icon on
