2.3 Initial Setup
Use this section to set up your computer to assign it a static IP address in the 192.168.168.1 to
192.168.168.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is necessary to ensure that
your computer can communicate with your BF-480.
Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be
installed on computer using Windows 98/2000/XP and later operating systems.
Note: Connect a computer to BF-480 Ethernet port directly should be with crossover
Ethernet cable, if both connect to hub/switch should be with straight-through Ethernet
cable.
