After a short delay, a list of all installed vNet Devices that use

Vaisala software).

Close the Command Prompt window.
If any of the vNet Devices you installed drivers for are not yet
connected to the network, connect them to an open Ethernet port
on the desired subnet of your network. If the vNet Device and
your network both support Power over Ethernet, you do not need
an external power supply. Otherwise, connect the power supply
barrel plug into the vNet Device (see Figure 2, “Connecting to an
external power supply” on page 3) and plug the power supply into
a wall outlet.
If all of the vNet Devices you installed are using IP addresses
reserved with DHCP, go to the “Configuring vNet Devices” on
page 9 for further instructions on opening the web-based
interface to change the password or other settings. However, if
one or more of the vNet Devices are to have static IP addresses
assigned, repeat steps 3 to 10.
