Configuration by Telnet Console 

You may open the PT-7728's Telnet or web console over a network. This requires that the PC host 
and PT-7728 are on the same logical subnet. You may need to adjust your PC host’s IP address 
and subnet mask. By default, the PT-7728’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and PT-7728’s subnet 
mask is 255.255.0.0 (for a Class B network). This means that your PC's IP address must be set to 
192.168.xxx.xxx for a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, or to 192.168.127.xxx with a subnet mask of 
255.255.255.0. 

NOTE

 

To connect to the PT-7728’s Telnet or web console, your PC host and the PT-7728 must be on 
the same logical subnet.
