Configuring the 833IS
Using the Manager Refer to Section 2: "Configuring the 833IS" for detailed instructions on the
configuration process.
During this configuration process, you will:
■Connect the Manager with the 833IS. See “Chapter 4: Using the Perle 833IS
Manager” .
■Download the 833IS System software.
■Set up the parameters for the interfaces on the cards installed in your system. See
