5.1.2 Using an Ethernet Connection
The HM6800 Application Controller has an embedded webserver that allows configuration of
parameters using a standard web browser. Connection can be made either directly to a PC
or through an Ethernet network via a router or switch.
The rear panel of the application controller has two 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet ports for linking

configured.
