3)You can set the required static IP address when you have more than one IPNC s.
To do this:
Open Web browser with default static IP address, 192.168.1.168(see Figure 2-1). After
you login to the Web interface, select “Network and port” and type the required IP
address (example, 192.168.1.168). Click “OK” (see Figure 2-1). Once you open a new
Web browser, IPNC starts working with the new static IP address. You can use the same
method to set others.
