Use of this method for normal operation is not recommended, as there is a high chance of IP Address conflicts.
To use a preset network configuration using the DIP Switch(es)
1. Power down the MC1-PANEL-16.
2. Quit DashBoard on your computer.
3. Set the DIP Switches to specify the preset IP Address as outlined in the section “ Setting the DIP Switches ” on
page 20.
4. Ensure the network settings of your computer are compatible with those chosen for the MC1-PANEL-16.

The IP Addresses of the MC1-PANEL-16 and your computer must be similar, but not identical, and the Subnet
Mask must match exactly the same. For example, if the MC1-PANEL-16 has an IP Address of 192.168.2.2, then
your computer should be configured for an IP Address with 192.168.2.X where X is a number other than 2.
5. Before you begin, and to prevent IP Address conflicts, isolate the MC1-PANEL-16 and your DashBoard
computer from the rest of your network.
• If you are using a hub or switch, unplug all devices except the MC1-PANEL-16 and your DashBoard
computer; or
• Connect the MC1-PANEL-16 directly to the DashBoard computer.
