If you are not familiar with Ethernet enabled equipment, it may be use-

ful to contact your IT department, network administrator or network consultant for

will be used for the configuration of this product are given here. Note that these
instructions are specifically for computers with the Windows XP operating system.
For setup using other operating systems, refer to the appropriate OS user’s manual.
