Set the Power Switch on the AFS-16 Power Module to the ON Position. The ON LED
on the Power Module and the A/B indicators on the Control Module should light. After
about 90 seconds, the A/B indicators should go out, indicating that the unit is ready to
receive commands. Note that if the AFS-16 needs to download SSH keys, it may take
longer than 90 seconds for the A/B indicators to switch off.
4.2. Connecting the Network Cable
Use the supplied 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable to connect the AFS-16 Ethernet
port to your TCP/IP network. Note that the AFS-16 includes a default IP address
(192.168.168.168) and a default subnet mask (255.255.255.0.) When installing the
AFS-16 in a working network environment, it is recommended to define network
parameters as described in Section 5.9.
