SETUP

INSTALL CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
All the network setup and configuration of the module is achieved by means of the Aparian
Slate device configuration environment. This software can be downloaded from
http://www.aparian.com/software/slate

NETWORK PARAMETERS
The module will have DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled as factory default.
Thus, a DHCP server must be used to provide the module with the required network
parameters (IP address, subnet mask, etc.). There are a number of DHCP utilities available,
however it is recommended that the DHCP server in Slate be used. Within the Slate
environment, the DHCP server can be found under the Tools menu.
Figure 3.2. - Selecting DHCP Server
Once opened, the DHCP server will listen on all available network adapters for DHCP requests
and display their corresponding MAC addresses.
