Network Communication Setup

Network setup is essential before you configure control settings. You can configure basic 
network settings in one of the following ways:

• 

Via 

front panel controls and the OSD menu

 — a quick method to use whether or 

not you need to configure other settings. This requires connection to a display device.

• 

Via 

PCS software

 — a method that provides basic network configuration and is 

convenient when you are ready to use PCS to configure AV settings. This requires a PC, 
software, and a LAN or USB connection.

• 

Via 

Toolbelt software

 — a method that allows you to configure additional connection 

settings and is convenient when you want to configure additional device, password, 
system, and control port settings. This requires a PC, software, and a LAN connection.
