You now have enough to use the basic functions of the system but before you go any further, please take a

1.YOU MUST FIRST SAVE THE PROGRAM SETTINGS. Save the settings file in a secure, known location on your computer (the default location is inside the AN program folder). DO NOT LOSE THE SYSTEM NAME OR PASSWORD; WRITE IT DOWN AT THE TOP OF THIS GUIDE.
2.Disable any unused network connections your computer may have. If your computer is connected to the network your AN devices are on through its LAN connection, disable or turn off any Wireless card and any secondary LAN port.
3.Set your computer’s IP address to be on the same subnet and ping each device (using the /COMMAND line window) to ensure it still has an active connection to the network. Move each device as close to its power source as possible, or use a PoE switch. The IP doors and masters are very sensitive to their distance away from their voltage source, so minimize it.
4.Upload the settings to all devices on your local subnet, be sure to type in the CORRECT system name and password at this prompt. If you get
multiple prompts, it is probably because you manually entered the IP addresses instead of importing them from Unit Scan.
WARNING: If you type in a different User Name and Passwords for each device on your system or if you accidentally hit OK with the system name as

Note: If there is a problem you can try pointing your browser to the IP address of the station and attempt to log in. See the Troubleshooting the Network section for additional details.
To test your system after all devices have successfully been uploaded to, press the call button on each door and see if the correct master rings. Answer the call by lifting the handset or pressing the PTT button. End the call and then attempt to direct dial the door station by dialing its Station Number. You may also direct dial other masters.
