Dot-notation addresses ("nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn" is a value from 0 to 255) must be expressed with care, as most PC web
software interprets byte values with leading zeros as octal (base 8) numbers. For example, "192.168.020.011" is actually equi-
valent to decimal "192.168.16.9" because ".020" is interpreted as "16" expressed in octal, and ".011" as "9". To avoid confusion,
use decimal values from 0 to 255, without leading zeros.

modelnumber is the unit’s 7-character model number (e.g. AC6803A), and serialnumber is the last five characters
of the 10-character serial number located on the label on the top of the unit, for example 45678.
