Note • If there is already an Extender with ID 0, set the Extender ID switch to an ID that is not used yet.
• Make sure the same Extender ID is used on the Extender and the Pronto Control Panel.
3Plug in the Extender’s power adapter.
The Extender will start up. After startup, the Power and Ethernet LEDs are green and the Busy LED is red/green blinking.
4Open the browser.
5Type the IP address of the Extender (printed on the bottom of the Extender) in the address bar of the browser.
The Configuration Tool opens in the browser.
6Follow the onscreen instructions and make sure you have the following information at hand:
•If the Extender will be connected wirelessly to the Pronto Network: the SSID and encryption settings.
•If the Extender will be operating with a fixed IP address: the IP address, netmask and default gateway.
Tip To ensure optimal performance, use a dedicated network for all Pronto communication. This makes the Pronto Network independent from other network traffic and changes in network settings.
7Disconnect the Extender from the PC.
8Connect the Extender to the Pronto Network:
•For a wired connection, connect the Extender to the router by means of a straight Ethernet cable.
•For a wireless connection, you do not need to connect any more cables.

•In a wireless network connection, the Power and WiFi LEDs are green and the Busy LED blinks green when it’s processing a code or a macro from the Control Panel.
