Requirements

Computer equipped with a standard Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) with
RJ-45 socket. Wireless NICs may not be used to access the controller.

The NIC’s necessary network components have to be correctly installed, specially
the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Also, the DHCP function must be enabled.

Ethernet cable to connect the controller to the LAN (straight-through or
crossover cable, as the controller’s port implements HP Auto MDI/MDI-X
detection and correction)
Network components are software clients, services and protocols that the NIC uses to communicate with servers
in the network. Contact your IT Department, if your computer has difficulties while installing or configuring the
network card. Also, read chapter “How To Check the Status of your LAN Network Card (NIC)”, page
