Connecting VS-44H2A via ETHERNET Port

You can connectto VS-44H2A via Ethernet using either of the following methods:

•Directly to the PC using a crossovercable (see Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to

aPC on page 8).

•Via a networkhub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see Connecting the

Ethernet Port viaa Network Hubor Switchon page 10).

If you want to connect via a router and yourIT system is based on IPv6, speak to your IT

department for specific installation instructions.

Connecting the Ethernet Port Directly to a PC

Youcanconnectthe Ethernet port of the VS-44H2A directly to the Ethernet port on your PC

using a crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors.

This type of connection is recommendedforidentifying the VS-44H2A with the factory

configured default IP address.

Afterconnecting the VS-44H2A to the Ethernet port, configureyour PC as follows:

1. Click Start > ControlPanel > Networkand Sharing Center.

2. Click Change Adapter Settings.

3. Highlight the network adapter you want to use to connect to the device and click Change
