RJ-45 LAN connector wiring. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet port on the PC.
If a network hub or switch is used between the PC and the System 5 IP, use a
straight-through Category 5 cable instead of a crossover cable.
7. Set up the switcher’s IP address. See “Setting up the System 5 IP switcher (at
initial start-up) for IP communication” on the next page.
8. Restore the PC’s previous IP configuration by following steps 1, 2, 3, and 5 but
using the PC’s original IP address settings you wrote down in step 4.
