4 Select the Configuration Menu link, then select the System link. Select the IP
Configuration Menu link and change the IP address, Subnet Mask, and default Gateway to
one provided by the network administrator. Press the Submit Changes button. The FMS
will save the new IP address and reboot. Once the FMS reboots, the system status LED

configured as DHCP (the network domain controller assigns an IP address) return it to this
state. This may require assistance from your IT Department, or consult the computer’s
manual.
6 The computer and the FMS are now both configured to communicate on the network. Both
should be accessible via the network. Connect the PC and the FMS to the network. From
the PC Web browser, type in the IP address of the FMS. Enter the user name and password
as stated above to verify network access to the FMS.

(9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.

should appear. If the FCF> does not appear, check the communication settings and make
sure the unit is powered on.
