Under the Configuration tab, you should find
the TCP/IP protocol configuration for your
network card.
If you don’t see TCP/IP as a choice in the
Configuration window, you’ll need to install
it from the Windows installation disk.
Here’s an abbreviated way to install it from
the Network Configuration window. Follow
the prompts:
Click the Add button.
Click Protocol and then click Add.
In the Manufacturer’s window, click

button is checked, you’ll need to specify an
IP address to work with the HDR24/96 on a
peer-to-peer network. When you click on the
“Specify” button, the IP address and Subnet
Mask will be blank. Enter the first three
fields of the HDR24/96’s IP address
(10.10.28 if you didn’t change it from the
