through the Communication Manager
program. All 3 must be configured to
log on online over Ethernet.

If a 218IF error does not go away after power is cycled, turn on the 218IF INIT dipswitch and cycle power.
As noted on the 218IF module, the network must be 10mbps, or switchable from 100mbps to 10mbps.
To connect directly, use a crossover cable and configure your PC to use a static IP address.
It is assumed that a valid IP address has been acquired from the network administrator.
