4 Operating the Power Supply Remotely

Factory-shipped LAN Settings

The factory-shipped LAN settings documented in the following table are optimized for connecting your power supply to a site network. They should also work well for other network configurations.

The factory-shipped settings can be restored by pressing and holding the front panel LAN button for three seconds. Pressing the LAN button again while the message “LAn rES” is displayed resets the LAN settings.
