Quick Start: Assigning your SiteDialer's Ethernet
Settings
To incorporate the SiteDialer into your network, you must configure its ethernet port(s) via the unit's TTY
interface. To access the TTY interface, you will establish a either a serial craft port connection or a LAN
connection that mimics the SiteDialer's default network settings.
Once you save your SiteDialer's ethernet settings and reboot the unit, you can access it over LAN and
continue databasing it using the Windows-based SiteDialer Edit program.
For more information about the SiteDialer Edit application, see the appropriate user manual.
