c.
Scroll up or down to find Static. Press ENT.
d.
Change the IP address to closely match what your computer is using. For example, if your computer's
IP address is 192.168.000.009 you could change the RTX's IP to 192.168.000.007. Everything but the
last set of three digits must be the same! When changing the IP address you'll notice that a box flashes
over the digit to be changed. While the digit is selected,
press up or down to change it. Press ENT to move to
the next digit. After the IP is set, press ENT all the way
to the end and confirm the settings change. To confirm,
press up for "yes" and then press ENT again.
e.
Type the RTX's new IP address into a web browser
on your computer. This will access the RTX's GUI,
which you will use to configure the unit.
If you are connected directly to a computer
The instructions are similar to those for a static network (see paragraph above), except that your
computer will not have IP address assigned if it's not a part of a network. Since the RTX and your
computer must have similar IP addresses, you will assign an IP address to your computer based on the
default IP address of the RTX.
a.
Check the RTX's LCD to find out the IP address of the LAN GUI configuration port. It will appear in
this format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
b.
Next, change your computer's IP address so that all but the last three digits match the RTX's address.
For example, if the RTX's IP is 169.254.12.62, you might assign your computer the number
169.254.12.63 (assuming no other computer on the network is already using that number). The process
of changing your computer's IP address varies depending on its operating system. (For Windows XP,
open Network Connections in the Control Panel. Right-click on your network and select Properties. On
the new window that opens, select TCP/IP and click the Properties button. Mac users can go to System
Preferences
Network.) By default, your computer is probably set to receive a new IP address
automatically. Change the setting to manual configuration and then type in the IP address.
c.
In the same window as the previous step, change the computer's Mask setting to match the RTX's
Mask setting.
d.
Finally, use the LCD interface to change the RTX's Gateway setting. It should match the IP address
you assigned to your computer.
e.
Launch a web browser and type the RTX's IP address into the URL bar, as if it were a website. This
will access the RTX's GUI, which you will use to configure the unit.
The tables below show example settings. The table on the left shows the type of settings that will appear
by default. The table on the right shows how the settings might look after you've made changes.

Not sure what type of network you
have? If the IP address displayed on the
LCD starts with 169.254 or 192.168, this
indicates that the network is probably not
DHCP-enabled. Use the instructions for
a static network.
