    IX. Router Setup 1. Make sure to set DMZ to ON and input the IP address to that of the PC that CAT is installed on. For example, if CAT is on an admin PC whose IP is 192.168.1.10, then turn on DMZ and set IP to 192.168.1.10.

  • Page 38 IMPORTANT!!! If the admin PC (computer running CAT) is assigned an IP by either a DSL or cable modem, then it will have a dynamic IP and not a static IP. That PC will have a new IP assigned arbitrarily by your modem/internet provider so if you setup an CMP2000Nclient using Static Server IP (see section V, 3b), you will have to manually change your IP every time your PC has its IP reassigned.
