Ethernet Access
To begin, you will need to connect to your RD-60 via Ethernet directly, or by adding the RD-
60 to your local area network. The default address for all Adtec devices is 192.168.10.48.
To connect directly to the device, make sure that your computer and the device have IP
addresses within the same IP class range.
(ex. 192.168.10.48 for the device and 192.168.10.49 for your computer).
If you need to change the IP address of the device, this can be done via the front panel,
System > Network menu. Using a CAT 5 crossover cable, connect one end to your computer
and the other to the Ethernet port found on the processor section of the back panel. (Some
computers can auto negotiate the connection and a crossover may not be necessary.)
To add the device to a LAN, connect a standard CAT 5 Ethernet cable to your network router
and then to the Ethernet port on the back of the device. If your network is DHCP enabled
and you prefer that over a static IP, you can turn on DHCP for the device via the front panel,
System > Network menu.
Zero Configuration Access
Adtec Digital has adopted zero-configuration networking technology, streamlining the setup
and configuration processes for our products. The use of this technology enables automatic
discovery of Adtec devices and services on an IP network. Used in tandem with the web-
based control and configuration applications we can now provide 1-click access to any
device.
By using the built-in Bonjour locater in Apple's Safari browser or the plug-ins readily
available for IE or Firefox browsers, users can locate all of the Adtec devices on a network
by referencing the serial number on the back of the device. Clicking on the unit in the
Bonjour list will re-route you to a login page. If you do not wish to use Bonjour, you can
