5. Verify connectivity to the BTRM by sending a Ping command to the BTRM’s

default IP address: PING 192.168.1.214 <Enter> you should receive four REPLY
messages from the BTRM.

6. Open a New Web Browser Session (Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome)

and type in the address of the BTRM (default is 192.168.1.214) and click go or
<enter>.  If everything is set up correctly you should see the System Status of the
BTRM.

Note:

  The Status light blinks when the BTRM is active.
