Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf) allows devices to automatically create a usable computer
network based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). For example, when the unit is connected
(connected through a network cable) directly to a Windows-based computer that is DHCP enabled, both
the unit and the Windows-based computer will automatically configure themselves to be seen by each
other using TCP/IP with a 169.254.x.x IP address configuration.
The WriteProtect comes with a gigabit network connection. Connecting the WriteProtect to a network
allows remote access from any computer within the same network using a supported Internet browser.
A network connection with Internet access also allows the WriteProtect software to be updated using
