Configuring your PC for connecting to a NION nE

Each NION nE is configured with network settings in the factory. The IP address is printed on a sticker on the rear of the unit.

The network settings may not be compatible with your PC network configuration. In this case, you must reconfigure your PC to use the same scheme as the NION nE before you can connect to the unit and change its settings.

Tip: If you are using a different NION model, you do not need to complete this procedure, as the NION network settings can be changed using the front panel.

To configure your PC for connecting to a NION nE

1. Open the Windows network settings.

   For Windows 7:

   1. On the Start menu, click Computer.
   2. Right-click Network, and then click Properties.
   3. Click Change Adapter Settings and then select the network you wish to edit.

   For Windows XP:

   1. On the Start menu, click My Network Places.
   2. Click View Network Connections.
2. Configure the PC with an IP address in the same subnet as is printed on the while sticker on the back of the NION nE. For example, if the sticker shows 10.7.5.75, then your computer's IP address will be 10.7.5.x where x is any value below 75, such as 10.7.5.66.
3. Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
