Default initialization

The KT-400 default initialization or Factory Default DHCP is done at Kantech. The following steps should only be followed if:

a)You want to configure the KT-400 with the KT-Finder, see page 33.

b)The KT-400 was communicating via the RS-232 port and you have installed a VC-485 or USB-485 to communicate via the RS-485 port.

c)The KT-400 was communicating via a VC-485 or a USB-485 interface and you want to communicate directly with the serial (RS-232) port.

d)You are using a KT-400 from another site and there is no communication.
