To contact your network administrator or network services, do these
steps:
1. Find the Ethernet hardware address on the back of the AD007
adapter (Figure 5) and copy it onto the card. Each AD007 adapter
has a unique Ethernet hardware address.

2. Give both copies of the card to the network administrator who
will assign an IP Address and fill out any other necessary
information.
3. For ease of setup, request that the Network Administrator assign a
static IP address. The Ethernet hardware address should be
mapped to this static IP address. If there is a DHCP/BOOTP
server, it should serve the same (static) IP address each time it is
requested.
4. If for some reason you cannot get a static IP address assigned, use
a dynamic IP address that is allocated by the DHCP/BOOTP
server. However, note that additional setup time is required if the
server allocates a different IP address to the adapter and you do
not have DNS.
The network administrator should retain one copy of the card and the
user should retain the other.
