devices connected to the network.
Using the MAC address, locate the desired
control processor in the list and select it.

port of the control processor to
the same network.
Apply power to all devices.
For each NIC (LAN, or LAN and AV LAN), use
the Set IP feature in Toolbelt or use the
Toolbelt

subnet address, then congure other
network settings as needed.
