OK, now that we have the network connection issues taken care of we can start the GP-16P
Configuration Tool software and program the panel to perform some basic functions using the
Script Wizard. The general procedure we will follow is listed below.

perform each in turn.

3.2 - Adding Devices
If you previously ran the software, use the
Menu item Device->Devices… to Add or
