1. Connect the PRO-Verter to a PC with a straight-through CAT5 Ethernet cable between the
external MODEM or TECH port and an Ethernet port on a PC (lower right box in Figure 6). Green
lights on both ends of the cable indicate a good connection. (If the connection is not good, use a
crossover cable to connect the PC to the PRO-Verter.)
2. Configure the PC to communicate via a static IP address. See “

3. Turn on the PRO-Verter main power switch.
Note:
Connecting all cables and components with
the power on may result in a failure of the RMK to communicate. Turn on the power only after all
connections have been made.
Note:
The time it takes for the RMK to “boot up” and begin to communicate with the PC may
vary significantly, from seconds to many minutes.
