Introduction

Operating MasterSwitch VM

Initial setup

You must configure the network settings of MasterSwitch VM before it

 

can operate on a network. The required settings are:

 

IP address of MasterSwitch VM

 

• Subnet Mask

 

IP address of the default gateway

 

Note: If a default gateway is not present, enter an IP address

 

of a computer on the same subnet that is always active.

 

For instructions on configuring the MasterSwitch VM network settings,

 

see the installation manual included with the unit and on the CD. After

 

you have configured MasterSwitch VM, no further configuration is

 

required. The remaining MasterSwitch VM properties are pre-configured

 

at the factory. However, you may want to customize these properties for

 

your application. See Menu Items on page 14 for more details on

 

changing MasterSwitch VM properties.
