The ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon has an embedded Web Configurator which can be used
to program the Node Offset or change the IP address (see Section 2.10.1), or to set
up a password for the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon (see Section 2.10.2). You can also use
it to find devices that are not auto-discoverable, like the PQMII.

RJ45 Ethernet port on the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon.
