M204 Configuration
Since TCP/IP is being utilized, the M204’s configuration involves storing an IP
address and a netmask. This is normally handled with the arp command but in the
case of Windows NT and WfW, this does not work reliably. Therefore, the best way to
store an IP address and a netmask is to connect a terminal, PC, or laptop to one of the
M204’s serial ports. This will log you into the unit where you can store the IP address
and netmask.
To configure a M204 with its network settings, please see Manual Configuration
