Note
The PC running BESTCOMS Plus software must be configured
correctly to communicate with the DECS-250. The PC must have an
IP address in the same subnet range as the DECS-250 if the
DECS-250 is operating on a private, local network.
Otherwise, the PC must have a valid IP address with access to the
network and the DECS-250 must be connected to a properly
configured router. The network settings of the PC depend on the
operating system installed. Refer to the operating system manual for
instructions.
On most Microsoft Windows based PCs, the network settings can be
accessed through the
Network Connections icon located inside the
Control Panel.
