Configuration                                  

                  

The QWL 3.1 Rev 2 Series Panels are typically ordered 

pre-programmed to customer specific networks and no 

additional software configuration is required. This is the 

preferred purchasing method.  
If a QWL 3.1 Rev 2 Series Panel is purchased without 

pre-programming it will be shipped with DHCP client 

enabled. The configuration page is available through a 

browser for additional configuration of the QWL 3.1 Rev 

2 Series Panel local IP address. Contact your network 

administrator to determine the local IP address (refer to 

the MAC address available on the product label).
