following parameters:
a. Select “Use the following IP address” radio
button
b. Enter IP address: 10.0.60.1
c. Enter subnet mask 255.255.0.0
d. Leave Default Gateway blank
e. Select “Use the following DNS server
addresses” radio button and leave all lines
blank
12) The USB NIC is now configured for use with the
sCMOS camera.
13) Record Kit S/N (Identifier #5). This will be used
later in the “Mity Viewer” Application when
connecting to the camera.
14) Plug power jack into proper outlet and then turn
the “On/Off” switch to the “On” position.
15) Note that the “I/O” connector is currently not
