CONFIGURE YOUR PC
Your PC will need to be sitting on the same local area network as the FAAST XT device
in order to establish communication. Change your PC’s IP address to 192.168.1.15 by:
1. Accessing your network setting in your PC’s control panel
2. Open ‘Local Area Connection’ settings and select ‘Properties’
3. Select ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then select ‘Properties’
4. Select ‘Use the following UP address and enter 192.168.1.15. If the
subnet mask does not automatically populate, enter 255.255.255.0
into the subnet mask field.
5. Hit OK and close out of the network menus.
(Important Note: Before changing your PC’s IP address, be sure to take note of
whether your IP is currently dynamically set, or is a static IP address. If your PC
is assigned a static IP address, make note of the IP address and subnet mask so
that you can change back to the proper settings after the FAAST XT is configured.)

drilling any mounting holes
SECURING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
The typical mounting location for the FAAST XT unit is on the wall. The unit
is mounted to the wall using the enclosed mounting plate. Figure 1 shows the
wall mounting plate. For easier access to the FAAST XT unit, it is preferred to
position the mounting plate in an easily accessible location.
1. Place the mounting bracket on the wall in the desired location and use
it as a template to locate the necessary mounting holes.
2. Mark the hole locations and remove the bracket. It is recommended to
secure the bracket using the 4 outer mounting holes.
3. Using a drill and the proper size bit for your mounting hardware, drill
the necessary holes.
4. Use appropriate fasteners to accommodate the mounting surface and
FAAST XT device weight.
5. Secure the bracket to the wall.
