of the Tek-BRIDGE™ must be provided. To find the IP address of the Tek-BRIDGE™, open
the Windows

Start Menu and choose
Run.
Type
cmd
into the search bar and press
the enter key. When the command prompt window appears, type
ipconfig

time.

File>Save Configuration As
and choose
a file name for the configuration you will be creating.
