Use the following procedure to configure the Primo using a telnet session. The

1.
Connect the cross-over Ethernet cable supplied with
the Primo between the 10/100 Base-T jack and the
host PC NIC.
Note: You may need to temporarily change the IP
address on the host PC so that they are on the
same subnet.
2.
Set DIP switch SW1 to OFF (down) to establish a
Telnet connection.
3.
Plug the power adapter DC plug into the jack
labeled DC-IN.

Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
Note: There is no on/off switch. The Primo
automatically turns on when plugged into the
outlet. The PWR LED on the Primo top panel will glow to indicate that it
is receiving power and the Link LED will light when the Primo is
properly connected to a live Ethernet device or network. Orange
indicates a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection and green indicates a 100
Mbps Ethernet connection.
