Connections Across Network Routers
You can connect to a Sensor on a different network than the Touch Finder or PC Tool through a router.
• To connect to a Sensor, directly specify the IP address of the Sensor. Automatic connection to a Sensor is not
possible.
• Use a fixed IP address for the Sensor to connect to.
