Connecting SmartDiscTCP/IP to an existing network
The procedure for connecting SmartDisc to an existing network is the same
as for connecting the device to a PC with the crossover cable. You can not
use the included crossover cable, instead you must use a standard patch cable
to connect the device to a network hub. If the IP address of SmartDisc is al-
ready assigned in the network, this can cause problems with the device with
the same IP address.
4.2 Remote Access and Configuration
The easiest way to establish a connection between SmartDisc and a PC is to
use the V.24 null modem cable included with SmartTel Receiver software.
Brief Instructions for SmartTel Receiver software (Null Modem Cable)

115200 or 230400. If this is not the case, the baud rates
must match.

After the device is initialised, you can establish a connec-
tion with the PC software (button
