Operating Modes
The eBOX has five distinct modes of operation that are set by the
rear panel DIP switches. The DIP switches are read only at power
on so the eBOX must be power cycled for the changes to take
effect.

Mode Configuration
Web Page Configuration
When DIP switch 8 is set to the ‘On’ position, the eBOX starts up
in the Web Page Configuration Mode. This allows the user to
configure the settings of the eBOX with a web browser such as
Internet Explorer 6. More information can be found in the section
‘Configuration with Webpage Interface’. The web page can be
found at the IP address set by DIP Switches 1, 2 and 3.
Note: The eBOX must be power cycled to switch to this mode.
eBOX Server Mode
When the eBOX is in the server mode, it waits for a client to
connect to it. The client can be another eBOX in client mode or it
can be a computer based application. The IP address and TCP port
of the eBOX is set by DIP switches 1, 2 and 3.
Note: The eBOX must be power cycled to switch to this mode.
