Section 4 – Communicating with the Unit
Local or remote communication with the unit is only possible through a GUI-based menu via any standard web browser.
Before you can communicate with the unit, you must configure the unit's IP address to conform with your existing IP
network or LAN. To do so, follow these steps:
(1) Plug one end of the Ethernet cross cable that is provided in the hardware bag to unit's rear-panel RJ45 interface marked
"Remote Control 10/100". Plug the other end of the cable to your computer.
(2) The factory default IP address of the unit is 172.16.70.1. To be able to communicate with the unit, you must first change
your computer's IP address.
