You can connect to ETC nodes with a Switch (avoid routers, they tend to complicate things).
Congo consoles/Client PCs should be given IP addresses in the 10.101.201.101+ range
when used with ETCNet2. Please see the ETCNet2 v4 Planning Guide for information on
configuring an ETCNet2 network.

1. Exit to the system settings if Congo is running (Browser >File node).
2. Open System Settings
3. Select Backup Setup at the bottom.
