STEP 2: Determining NXT-700 Connection
Decide how you would like to connect to your NXT-700 to configure it:

Connect the NXT-700 NX to a LAN Network
and configure it using a PC on the Network.
This is the typical set up for
general NXT-700 use.
STEP 3A: Connecting
the NXT-700 to a LAN
Connect the NXT-700 directly to a PC using an
Ethernet cable.
You do not have a LAN

If your network is configured to support the default network (IP) settings, you may immediately connect
