3.2.1 If you are connected to a DHCP-enabled network
On DHCP networks, a new IP address is dynamically assigned to RTX’s Config GUI port as soon as the
network detects it. You can determine this address by checking the LCD interface on the front of RTX. It
will appear in this format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Simply type this IP address into a web browser on your
computer. This will access RTX’s GUI, which you will use to configure the unit.
3.2.2 If you are connected to a static network
a) Check your computer’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. Mac users can find this information in
System Preferences
Network.
To do this in Windows, open Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel (Also called “View Network
Status and Tasks” under the “Network and Internet” category). On the left pane, select “Change adapter
settings”. Right-click on your network (likely called Local Area Connection) and select Properties. On the
new window that opens, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click the Properties button.
Your computer’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway will be displayed.
b) On the RTX LCD interface, press ENT and then scroll up or down to Change IP Setting. Press ENT.
c) Scroll up or down to find Static. Press ENT.
d) Change the IP address to closely match what your computer is using. Or, if you are on a business
network, have your IT administrator assign you an IP address. The IP address you select must
NOT be in
use by another device.
For example, if your computer's IP address is 192.168.0.9, you might change the RTX’s IP to
192.168.0.7.
On smaller networks, each of the first three octets must be the identical to your
computer’s IP address! When changing the IP address you'll notice that a box flashes over the digit to
be changed. While the digit is selected, press ▲ (Up) or ▼ (Down) to change it. Press ENT to move to
the next digit.
e) After the IP address is set, enter the subnet mask address exactly as it is shown on your computer’s
TCP/IP settings.
f) Next, enter the gateway address exactly as it is shown on your computer’s TCP/IP settings.
g) Confirm the settings change. To confirm, press ▲ (Up) for “yes” and then press ENT again.
h) Type the RTX’s new IP address into a web browser on your computer. This will access the RTX’s GUI,
which you will use to configure the unit.
3.2.3 If you are connected directly to a computer
The instructions are similar to those for a static network (see above), except that your computer will not
have IP address assigned if it’s not a part of a network. Since the RTX and your computer must have
similar IP addresses, you will assign an IP address to your computer based on the default IP address of
RTX.
a) Check RTX’s LCD to find out the IP address of the Config GUI configuration port. It will appear in this
format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
b) Next, change your computer’s IP address so that all but the last three digits match RTX’s address. For
example, if RTX’s IP is 169.254.12.62, you might assign your computer the number 169.254.12.63
(assuming no other computer on the network is already using that number). The process of changing
