IP Address and Netmask.

Setup” parameter, then 3) turn the bottom display knob to select “Manual,” then 4) press the bottom display knob
to apply your selection. The LCD will now show the IP address. To set it: 1) rotate the bottom display knob to set the
first number block and press the bottom display knob to advance to the second number block. 2) Rotate the bottom
display knob to set the second number block and press the bottom display knob to advance to the third number block.

Receptor will, upon starting up, use the manual IP address that you just entered, and will always do so unless you
change TCP/IP Settings.
Mounting Receptor on your Computer’s Desktop
Receptor supports Windows Networking, Appletalk, and Rendezvous technologies, making it fairly simply to
mount it on a computer’s desktop for file transfer and maintenance purposes.
Macintosh Mounting Instructions
The following sections discuss how to mount Receptor using various versions of the Mac OS. Should you
require additional information, see your computer’s documentation to learn more about how its networking
works.
Mac OS X Panther (10.3), using AppleTalk
1 Make sure AppleTalk is turned on in the Mac’s System Preferences > Network panel then, in the Finder,
click on the
Network icon and then double click your Receptor’s name.
NOTE: Appletalk does not refresh itself very often and, if you’ve recently turned on your Receptor, it may not
immediately appear in the Local folder. If you’re in a hurry, you can always type in your Receptor’s IP address. To do
so, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu and enter the IP address of your Receptor into the “Server Address”
field, then click Connect.
To learn how to get Receptor’s IP address, see “Getting Receptor’s IP Address” on page 162.
