5.6. Network Parameters
In order to communicate with the NPS-2HD via network, the IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address must first be
defined using the Network Parameters menu. If desired, this
menu also allows you to implement IP Security features, which
restrict command mode access based on the user's IP Address.

of your individual network. Please contact your network
administrator for appropriate settings, and then assign parameters
as described in this section.
