2.Obtain the IP Address of the Master from the System Administrator. If you still do not have an IP Address, follow the steps outlined in either the Obtaining the Master’s IP Address (using DHCP) section on page 23 or Assigning a Static IP to the NetLinx Master section on page 24.

3.Select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 23).
