The Basic Configuration

This chapter describes which steps have to be performed in order 
to assign an IP address to your ComPoint via the artem ComPoint 
Manager.

To configure an IP address for your ComPoint, carry out the fol-
lowing steps:

Prerequisite:

The PC which you use to configure the IP address for your Com-
Point has to be connected to the same network as the ComPoint to 
be configured.

Booting the ComPoint Manager

1. Insert the supplied CD into the drive of the corresponding 

computer.

2. Carry out the instructions of the CD wizard and install the 

ComPoint Manager.

3. Start the artem ComPoint Manager from the 

Start > Pro-
