3 Ethernet Network Configuration
3.1 Linking Device IP address Configuration
The Linking Device is delivered with a pre-configured IP address 192.168.177.177. It must
be assigned an IP address from your LAN address range. Furthermore, subnet mask and
gateway IP address must be set.
To configure the Linking Device a private network between a PC and the Linking Device
must first be established. This can be done with a PC dedicated to the Linking Device or a
PC used for another purpose can be temporarily configured for the task. If a PC from another
network is used, carefully record the current IP address and other settings so the PC can be
returned to its original network when configuration of the Linking Device is finished. If using a
PC attached to another network, shut down the PC and remove it from the network before
proceeding to set up the Linking Device private network.
Please see the chapter <Configuration><Internet Protocol> and follow the instruction for the
IP configuration in the Linking Device.
3.2 PC IP address Configuration
To install a private network on your PC please press the Microsoft Windows <Start> button
