There are two simple menus.

Settings Menu
This is the settings menu:
Use it to choose serial mode or Ethernet mode.
In serial mode you can configure any individual panel that has no IP address (yet). You will need a
9-pin serial cable for communication between your PC and a control panel. The utility uses a COM
port (RS-232) of your PC.
In Ethernet mode, you can (re)configure any and all panels accessible over Ethernet by your PC.
Those panels of course must already have IP addresses, presumably on an NV9000 network.
In serial mode, you can select the COM port through which the software will communicate with the
control panel. Serial mode requires a direct connection between your PC and the control panel.
In Ethernet mode, the ‘Target IP’ field identifies the panel, on a network, that you want to change.
