NOTE: The
IP.CFG
file is provided as a means of restoring each box to a known
IP configuration. Although an
IP.CFG
file from one box can be uploaded to
another, it is not recommended. The file is meant as a backup for its specific
box to resolve network issues.
If there is a need to upload an
IP.CFG
file from a donor box, your box will
initially have the IP address of the donor box. Before communicating with your
box, ensure the donor box is either disconnected from the network or its power
removed; then use the donor IP address to communicate with your box. Once
connected to your box, change its IP address to the desired one.
To reference the IP settings of the donor box, look at its front panel display.
