Configuring the Network Settings

Use the following procedure to change the default network settings on the
DeviceMaster LT for your network.

Note: Technical Support advises configuring one new DeviceMaster LT at a time

to avoid device driver configuration problems. If you want to configure
multiple DeviceMaster LTs using the
Assign IP to Multiple Devices option, see

Configuring Multiple DeviceMaster LTs Network Addresses

on Page 75.

The following procedure shows how to configure a single DeviceMaster LT
connected to the same network segment as the Windows system. If the
DeviceMaster LT is not on the same physical segment, you can add it manually
using
