Connect the PC to the front panel Config port of the HCR 102 receiver using a
USB type A male to USB mini-B male cable (such as the Extron USB CFG cable).

address conflicts can prevent TCP/IP connection. In most cases the MAC address
is sufficient for PCS connection. Alternatively, try connecting the HCR 102 via
