Description

 

 

Solid Green

USB connection is established between the terminal and Net Base.

 

 

Flashing Orange

Data is being transferred between the terminal and the Net Base.

 

 

Configuring the Network

By default, the Net Base is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically via a DHCP server. This means that in most cases you would simply “plug and play” the unit. If necessary, you can use the configuration utility for dynamic network configuration.

If Your DNS Server Supports Bind 8.3 or Later

1.Obtain the serial number from the label on the bottom panel of the Net Base.

2.Connect to the network.

3.Power up and wait until the COMM LEDs stop flashing. The COMM LEDs stop flashing when the Net Base has found the DHCP server.

4.On your PC, open the web browser and enter the Net Base serial number exactly as it appears on the label.

5.Press ENTER and the online configuration utility displays on your PC.
