Preparations WARNING Do not insert or disconnect the power cord plug with wet hands, to prevent the risk of electric shock. Do not plug the power cord into a power strip along with other electrical devices, to prevent the risk of overheating and fire.
SA-02M/ Ethernet (generic) SA-02A4 Response, data transfer Procedure 1. Connect the LAN connector of the SA-02M/SA-02A4 to the LAN connector of the computer, using the supplied 3 m LAN cable (cross-wired). LAN connector DIRECT IN DIRECT IN DIRECT IN DIRECT IN...
For information about using other LAN cables, contact the supplier. Power-on To turn the SA-02M/SA-02A4 on, press the upper part ( | ) of the POWER switch. After the power is turned on, the POWER switch lamp flashes for about 15 seconds. During this interval, the SA-02M/SA-02A4 will not be accessible from the computer, and you should not attempt to access it.
Preparations Setting the IP address of the SA-02M/SA-02A4 Perform the following steps to set the IP address of the SA-02M/SA-02A4. This procedure requires that the Target Management Utility software is installed on the computer con- nected to the SA-02M/SA-02A4 (see software instruction manual).
