Setting Up an IP Connection Between PC and Linking Device

The Linking Device is delivered with the pre-configured IP address 192.168.0.10.
Connect the Linking Device to your PC. For a direct connection, a cross-linking cable
must be used. This is not necessary if a hub is interconnected.
Before connecting the Linking Device to your LAN network, make sure that its IP
address is not yet used by another network station.
When establishing a connection to a Linking Device by TCP/IP, no auxiliaries such as
serial cables are required to change the pre-configured IP address of the Linking Device.
Step1: You need the following information that can be obtained from your network
administrator:
• IP address for the Linking Device
• Subnet mask
• IP address of the default gateway
It is not necessary to configure a default gateway if the PC and the Linking Device
share the same network.
