By default, the HH1620 has a LAN IP Address of 192.168.1.1, and dynamically assigns
an IP Address to connected devices. The PC will not communicate properly with the
HH1620 if the Ethernet adapter is not configured either:
(a) to accept a dynamic IP Address, or
(b) with a compatible static IP Address (i.e., 192.168.10.x, where x is a number between
2 and 254).
To make any necessary adjustments to your PC’s Ethernet Adapter, you can follow the
instructions in this section under Configuring Computers to Communicate with the
HH1620.

repeating Steps 3, 4, and 5 with each of those devices.
