Configuration
• IfALIFTXandRXunitsaredirectlyconnected,noconguration
actionisrequired,providedthattheyhavetheirfactorydefault
settingsinplace.Ifthestandardsettingshavebeenchangedina
previousinstallation,youmerelyneedtoperformafactoryreset
on each unit (see below).
• WhereALIFunitsareconnectedvianetworklinks,youwillneed
to specify their network address details. This can be done by
connectingacomputersystemtemporarilytoeachALIFunit
andusingtheInnitybrowser-basedcongurationutility.This
congurationutilityalsoallowsnumerousothersettingstobe
altered.
Note: For basic one-to-one installations, the factory default
addresses may be acceptable for immediate use within your
network without the need to use a configuration utility or change
their values: TX unit (169.254.1.33), RX unit (169.254.1.32).
