4.Plug the supplied 12.0 VDC wall transformer into a power outlet and then into the EthernetBlaster communications cable.

1Always connect the network patch cable as instructed in step 2 before connecting the power cord. This allows the EthernetBlaster communications cable to obtain a DHCP address (if your network is configured to do so). Wait until the Status LED emits a steady green light.

5.Reconnect the power cable to the circuit board to reapply power.

6.If your network supports DHCP, see step 7 on the following page for configuration instructions. If your network does not support DHCP, see step 8 on the following page for configuration instructions.

7.If your network supports DHCP, you can access the EthernetBlaster Configuration administrative web page using a web browser with the hostname as the address. The hostname is located on the label on the base of the EthernetBlaster communications cable as shown in Figure 1–4 on page 1–7.
