Klark Teknik Your Essential Guide to Network Bridge Configuration

Chapter 1: Getting Started

Configuring the unit for the first time

Important:

Before you use the unit for the first time, you must configure your computer with the IP address and netmask to suit the range used by the DN965X.

Before you can use the DN965X as a network bridge, you must first configure it by choosing the type of network module card(s) that are fitted in the unit and then setting them up. Configuration involves connecting the DN965X to a computer running an up-to-date web browser. To make sure your computer is compatible with the DN965X, you will need to change its IP address and netmask. For more information on configuration, see Chapter 5 "Configuring the DN965X" on page 17.
