What You Will Need
• An administrative computer (admin PC) with a connection
to the local area network
• A web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox,
Google Chrome or Apple Safari
• The IP address, netmask, gateway and DNS server
addresses assigned to the SZ-100 —if it has a static
network address (recommended)
Step 1: Connect the SZ-100 to the Network
#1 Connect the SZ-100 to a convenient power source, and
then press the power switch on the rear panel. The Alarm
LED shows a flashing red light as the SZ-100 starts up.
When the SZ-100 has started up successfully, the Alarm
LED turns to a solid green light.
#2 Obtain an Ethernet cable. Connect one end of the Ethernet
cable to one of the LAN ports (port 1 or 2 recommended)
on the SZ-100, and then connect the other end to your
network's switch or router.
NOTE
The SZ-100 is a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device.
Once you connect it to the network, it will automatically configure
itself, obtain an IP address, and make its presence known to other
devices on the network.
#3 Go to the admin PC and verify that the SZ-100 is now
discoverable on the network.
On Windows 7 and Windows 8, go to Control Panel > Net-
work and Internet > View network computers and devices,
and then locate the Network Infrastructure section. The
SZ-100 should appear there.
NOTE
If you prefer not to use UPnP, you can type the IP address
of the SZ-100 into a web browser instead. In case there is no
DHCP server on the network, the default IP address and URL of
the SZ-100 is http://192.168.2.2:8080 with a network mask of
255.255.255.0. Otherwise, an IP address is assigned
automatically from your existing DHCP service.
