Page 32
Operation Instruction-UVCI-2300 Step5. Check the IP address of user’s computer to see if user’s computer IP conflicts with the IP address of UVCI-2300/2400 or other computers. To set up a new IP address, the first 3 numbers should be the same as the first 3 numbers of user’s network IP address.
Page 33
Operation Instruction-UVCI-2300 For example, if the IP address of the conflicted IP address is “10.0.0.103”, and the UVCI-2300/2400 IP address is “10.0.0.166”. Then the IP address of user’s computer should be set up like “10.0.0.152”. User can use the numbers ranging from 1 to 254 except 103 (the conflicted IP address) and 166 (the UVCI-2300/2400 IP address).

Page 36
Operation Instruction-UVCI-2300 Step8. Type “ipconfig” after the flashing cursor. And press “Enter” key. Step9. System then shows the IP address of user’s, the example in step 5, user’s IP has been changed to “10.0.0.152”, therefore the same IP address is showed in the screen.
Page 37
Operation Instruction-UVCI-2300 Step10. Then type “ping + (Space) + UVCI-2300/2400’s IP address” right after the flashing cursor. For instance, the IP address of the used UVCI-2300/2400 is “10.0.0.166”; then type “ping 10.0.0.166”, and press “Enter”. Step11. The program will start connecting user’s computer to UVCI-2300/2400. The information showed on the screen tells user if the network is connected.
