You can initially configure the PX by connecting it to a computer, or to a
TCP/IP network that supports DHCP.
Configuration using a connected computer:
1. Connect the PX to a computer. See
Connecting the PX to a
Computer
(on page 18).
2. Use the connected computer to configure the PX via the command
line or web interface.
 Command line interface: See
Initial Network Configuration via
CLI
(on page 22).
 Web interface: Launch the web browser on the computer, and
type the link-local IP address or
