Setup Guide
If you want the units to communicate between your local and remote systems over the internet, you will need to
configure your network routers and program the RR-1256 units as follows. You
should not
need to program the
units if you have both of them connected to the same local area network (LAN) such as a home network that
functions whether or not you have internet access.
Configuring the RR-1256 Units to Communicate over the Internet
Your RR-1256 units must have the correct internet protocol (I.P.) addresses to communicate with the router that
provides a gateway from your local area network (LAN) to the internet, or wide area network (WAN). If you
don’t know your network settings turn to
Finding Your Network Information
on pg 4.The units are supplied
configured as follows. It these settings agree with your network settings at the local and remote locations, no
further configuration is needed. Go directly to the appropriate equipment setup on pg 12,13 or 14 to connect the
cables to your equipment.
