Page 18: Lan Configuration
LAN CONFIGURATION The Fusion contains a DHCP server which will automatically assign an IP address to your PC, however in some cases the user may need to change the network settings on their PC to accept the IP address from the Fusion. Before powering on the unit, confirm that your PCs Ethernet port is set up to receive an IP address from an external DHCP server, confirm it is not set to a static address. -
