Chapter 4: Connecting to a Computer
Two Java applets are provided with the Model M:
•
The Dugan Utility helps you connect to a network.
It is also used to update the firmware (see Chapter 9: Updates).
•
The Dugan Control Panel offers convenient monitoring and operational capabilities.
Insert the USB thumb drive supplied with the Model M, or download the latest ver-
sion from:
To connect the Model M directly to a computer, use the rear panel Ethernet jack. An
older PC may require a crossover cable.
Use a straight Ethernet cable to connect to a network.
Windows users must turn the Windows firewall off. The Windows Firewall blocks
port 9776 used by the Dugan software to communicate. If you must leave the Win-
dows firewall on, open this port.
We recommend turning off the computer’s WiFi during this process because it some-
times interferes. You can turn it back on after the connection has been established.
For those who wish to set a specific IP address, proceed to Setting a Specific IP Address
