3.3.2 Installer PC Connection
During installation it is recommended that the IP Office control unit is started
without it being connected to any network. That ensure that the IP Office
defaults to a known set of IP address settings.
If the IP Office is started connected to a network with a DHCP server. The
programming PC will need to be connected to the same network as either a
DHCP client or with an IP address valid for that network.
This section covers connecting your installation PC directly to the IP Office
control unit.
