d. Compare the PC's IP address to the IP
address assigned to the ACU. If the first three
portions of the IP address match, the PC is
configured to communicate with the ACU.
For example, if the PC's IP address is
169.100.0.1, and the ACU's IP address is
169.100.0.2, your PC is configured for ACU
communication; skip to "Access the Web
Interface" on page 27.
NOTE: You can view the ACU's current IP address
and other Ethernet settings using the ACU buttons
(see Figure 28 on page 18).
Step 4 - Configure Your PC Connection
The following instructions explain how to
configure the Ethernet connection to the ACU on
a PC with Windows XP. Specific configuration
instructions might vary.
a. Access Network Settings in the Control Panel
(see Figure 41).
b. Right-click the active connection. Then
choose Properties (see Figure 41).
c. Scroll down to TCP/IP Settings and highlight
the selection. Then choose Properties (see
Figure 42).
d. If desired, record the current settings so you
can restore them once you have finished.
e. Choose to manually assign your PC's IP
address and network settings (see Figure 43).
f. Assign an IP address one digit higher than
the ACU's IP address. Then click OK (see
Figure 43).
TIP: For example, if the ACU IP address was
169.100.1.1, you would enter 169.100.1.2).
