Section 4 – Communicating with the Unit

network or LAN. To do so, follow these steps:
(1)
Plug one end of the Ethernet cross cable that is provided in the hardware bag to unit’s rear-panel RJ45 interface marked
“10/100 Remote Control”. Plug the other end of the cable to your computer.
(2)
The factory default IP address of the unit is
172.16.70.1
