Using DeviceInstaller to Assign an IP Address
The unit’s IP address must be configured before it can work correctly on a network.
You have several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you
manually assign the IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller software,
which is on the product CD.
