Remote Control via LAN 
 
1.  Connect the device 
Connect the generator to your PC or the LAN of your PC using a network cable. 
 
2.  Configure network parameters 
1)  DHCP mode: 
If the network supports DHCP, the DHCP server in the network assigns 
network parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS) for the 
generator automatically. 
 
2)  Auto IP mode: 
When the network doesn’t support DHCP, the DHCP mode of the generator 
is disabled or the generator is connected to the PC directly, the generator 
selects Auto IP mode and acquires the IP address from 169.254.0.1 to 
169.254.255.254 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0 automatically. 
 
3)  Manual IP mode: 
Enable the Manual IP mode and disable the DHCP mode as well as the Auto 
IP mode to set the network parameters manually. 
 
If the generator is connected to the PC directly, set the IP Addresses, 
Subnet Masks and Gateways for both of the PC and the generator. The 
Subnet Masks and Gateways of the generator and PC must be the same and 
the IP Addresses of them must be within the same network segment (for 
details, refer to the TCP/IP protocal). An example is shown in the table 
below. 
PC
IP Address 
Subnet Mask 
Default Gateway 
192.16.3.3 
255.255.255.0 
192.16.3.1 
192.16.3.8 
255.255.255.0 
192.16.3.1 
 
If your generator is connected to the LAN of your PC, please acquire valid 
network parameters (such as IP Address) and configure the network 
parameters of the generator according to the description in “To Set LAN 
Parameters”.
