Installation Overview
Part A: Cabling – Connecting the FF240-IP to Power and Ethernet
Summary: Place the FF240-IP in a convenient location, and then connect the power supply to your AC power outlet and then connect to the Ethernet network.
1. Connect FF240-IP to AC Outlet.
Plug the DC power transformer into a power outlet or power strip. Secure the other end to the Power Receptacle on your FF240-IP.
Caution: Use only the DC power transformer supplied with the FF240-IP. Use of any other transformer voids the warranty and can damage the FF240-IP.
2. Verify Powering.
After power is applied, the Power LED comes on immediately.
3. Connect FF240-IP to Ethernet Network.
Plug one end of your RJ45 Ethernet cable into the FF240-IP’s Ethernet jack and the other end into your network. This Ethernet cable is not included with your FF240-IP unit.
Caution: Before connecting to the Ethernet Network, make sure that the network to which you are connecting the FF240-IP is not a 192.168.2.x subnet. Because the FF240-IP’s factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1, connecting it to a network that has a different device at that same IP address would cause data interference.
If it is a 192.168.2.x subnet, connect from the Administrative PC to the FF240-IP using an RJ 45 crossover cable until the FF240-IP’s IP address has been configured. Thereafter, connect the FF240-IP into the network with an ordinary RJ 45 cable.
