Set the IP Address For the 2706-P22, 2706-P4x, and 2706-P7x terminals, separate
communication modules are needed to place the display on the
network. The 2706-P9x displays have Ethernet TCP/IP built in. To add
any other network protocol to the 2706-P9x, a separate
communication module is needed.
The Ethernet TCP/IP configuration utility is installed as part of the
Inview messaging software package. When first opening the InView
messaging software, you are asked to create a display and a message
file. After the display is created you can configure the IP address of
the 2706-PENET1 module.
