local subnet, you must do the following:
1. Connect and power on all iSTAR components.
2. Copy the ICU to a PC or laptop.
3. Connect the PC or laptop with the ICU to the subnet on which the target
iSTAR eX resides.
4. Use the ICU to do the following:
• Identify MAC addresses for members, as shown in Figure 5.4 on
page 5-12 .
• If not using DHCP, configure the IP address for the master on the
Ethernet Adaptor tab, as shown in Figure 5.1 on page 5-6 .)
• Configure gateway addresses for members and masters on the
Ethernet Adaptor tab.
