FIGURE 6-2. CONNECT TO LAN
STEP 1: Connect the TCP/IP port of the Switcher to the Ethernet port of the PC with straight-thru twisted pair.
STEP 2: Set the PC’s network segment to the same as the the Switcher. Remember the PC’s original network segment.
STEP 3: Set the Switcher’s network segment to the same as the router.
STEP 4: Set the PC’s network segment to the original one.
STEP 5: Connect the Switcher and PC(s) to the router. In the same LAN, each PC is able to control the Switcher asynchronously. Then
it’s able to control the device via TCP/IP communication software.
