4.3 USB to Ethernet Adapter
A USB to Ethernet adapter is included with the display and can be used to bypass network
configuration in situations where simple point-to-point communication is required. The
adapter creates a secondary network that is dedicated to communication with the display,
but network operation is still enabled through the primary network.
The USB to Ethernet Adapter can be used in conjunction with communication kits supplied
with the display. Refer to
for more information regarding the adapter.
4.4 Setting the IP Address on the Display Controller
Galaxy AF-3500 display controllers are set to a default IP address of 172.16.192.25 prior to
shipping. This address can be changed to an address specific to the local display network. To
obtain an appropriate IP address for the display, contact the network administrator.
In order to complete the following directions, the display will need to have power and
M2Config will need to be installed on the computer. M2Config can be downloaded at

the display controller will be necessary and can be done through the purchased
communication method or directly to the display controller using a Cat5 cable.
Display power must be “ON” to complete this configuration.
