To configure your device using the Configuration pages you must do the following:

connector on the device

Prepare an isolated network
Connect your device and the PC you are using to configure it on their own isolated network.
To do this, connect the device to the PC using an Ethernet cross-over cable.
Preparing for initial device configuration
You cannot connect the device to your network until you have changed the IP settings to suit
your network.
To change the factory defaults of your device, you must first, temporarily, modify your PC’s
network settings.
Make a note of the original value of all settings that are to be changed so that you can re-enter
them when you have completed the initial device configuration.

3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
4. Set the IP address to an address close to the factory IP address, for example,
10.5.1.2, and change the PC’s subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 (the same as the
factory default).
5. Click OK, then OK again to save the changes.
