Configuration – All Models
There are three ways to configure the UltraLink 2. All models can be configured using a
connection to the unit and to a standalone computer or laptop’s USB ports. All models can
also be configured using a network crossover cable. The dual access model can be
configured directly using a local keyboard and mouse. Each method is described below.
Method #1 - Unit configuration via USB ports (all models)
The configuration procedure using the USB connections are shown below.
