Establishing the connection

The unit must have a valid IP address to operate on your network and a compatible subnet
mask.
By default, DHCP is pre-set at the factory to On plus Link-Local so a DHCP server assigns an
IP address or, if no DHCP server is available, a link-local address (auto-IP) is assigned within
the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
You can use the Configuration Manager to find the IP address. Download the software from
