2. Connect the computer to the Compack controller and check its MAC address plugging one end of the Ethernet cable to the controller’s RJ-45 socket on its top, and
the other end to the computer’s NIC. The controller automatically generates an IP address, e.g. <0.0.0.1>, and the Eltek Valere Network Utility displays the controller
as a connected LAN device (may take up to 1 minute to display). Notice that the displayed IP address may differ from above, if a Static IP address has been previously
enabled and stored in the controller. Check that the displayed MAC address corresponds to the MAC address label on the controller.
