that can be started from the Remote Console's Admin - Config page. The

the base IP address of the network (NetworkAddress) can be specified
instead of the MAC address.

Installation is complete now.
It is possible to configure different consoles being not part of the same mul-
ticast group from a single computer. Just enter all required multicast groups
