1.5. Setting up an Ethernet Connection to a network switch or router
Connecting the 2300 to an existing network with the Ethernet cable allows the 2300 to be
automatically assigned an IP address. You only need to set the Ethernet connection on your computer
or smart device to configure via DHCP. The IP address is shown on the front panel during power up or
can be seen via the Main Menu under View System Info (hit Menu then Enter from the front panel).
The IP address may look like 192.168.1.7: save this address to access the 2300 from the network in
Section 2. Skip Section 1.6 if you use the DHCP.
1.6. Setting up a Direct Ethernet Connection
A wireless connection between a computer and the 2300 is usually the most convenient method for
controlling the 2300. However one can make a direct connection between the two with an Ethernet
cable. Most current Operating Systems (Mac, Windows and Linux) work with a regular Ethernet cable
but some older OS’s might require a crossover Ethernet cable. Note that, after setting up the 2300
Controller, the tethered laptop may be disconnected for operation.
To configure the connection, switch from DHCP (automatic) IP addressing to manual IP addressing.
Directions are below, but specific instructions for your own computer’s operating system may be
found on the web. Just search using the phrase “setting a manual IP address” in conjunction with your
operating system’s name.
