2.In the IP Address section, select the Static radio button.

3.Enter the Static IP address and Subnet Mask information provided by your Network Administrator into the fields provided.

4.To save the new changes, click the Accept button at the bottom of the page. If you wish to return to the previously saved information, click Cancel.

5.To make sure that the new information is recognized by the MAX-CSD10, click Reboot to reboot your MAX unit.
