2.1 Overview
2.2 Unpacking the Network module
The
Unable to render include or excerpt-include. Could not retrieve page.
will include the following accessories:
Installation instructions
2.3 Starting with the Network Module
2.4 Mounting the Network Module
The Network Module is hot-swappable. Inserting and/or extracting the Network Module from the communication slot of theproduct
has no effect on the output.
Remove the two screws securing the option slot cover plate and store the plate for possible future use.
Install theNetwork Module along the alignment channels in the option slot.
Secure the Network Module using the two screws.
Packing materials must be disposed of in compliance with all local regulations concerning waste.
Recycling symbols are printed on the packing materials to facilitate sorting.
It is not necessary to power down theDevice before installing the Network Module. Required tools: No. 2 Phillips
screwdriver.
If theproduct is powered up, you can verify that the Network
Module is seated properly and communicating with theproduct by
checking that the Status ON LEDflashes green after 2 minutes.

2.5 Accessing the Network Module
2.5.1 Accessing the web interface through Network
2.5.1.1 Connecting the network cable
Connect a standard
gigabit compatible shielded ethernetcable (F/UTP or F/FTP) between the network connector on theNetwork Module and a
network jack.
2.5.1.2 Accessing the web interface
STEP 1 –On a network computer, launch a supported web browser. The browser window appears.
STEP 2 –In the Address/Location field, enterhttps:// [IPaddress] with the static IP address of the Network Module.
STEP 3 –The login screen appears.
STEP 4 –Enter the user name in the User Name field. The default user name is admin.
STEP 5 –Enter the password in the Password field. The default password is admin.
STEP 6 –The password must be changed at first login.
STEP 7 –Click Login. The Network Module web interface appears.
At first login:
STEP 8 - Accept License Agreement. The Network Module web interface appears.
2.5.2 Finding and setting the IP address
2.5.2.1 Your network is equipped with a BOOTP/DHCP server (default)
2.5.2.1.1 Read from the device LCD
If your device has an LCD, from the LCD’s menu, navigate to Identification>>>"COM card IPv4".
Note the IP address of the card.
Go to the section: Accessing the web interface through Network.
Security settings in the Network Module may be in their default states.
For maximum security, configure through a USB connection before connecting the network cable.
It is highly recommended that browser access to the Network Module is isolated from outside access using a
firewall or isolated network.
Note: some older Devices may not be able to display the IP address even if they have an LCD. Please consult the
Device manual.

2.5.2.1.2 With web browser throughthe configuration port
For example, if your device does not have an LCD, the IP address can be discovered by accessing the web interface through RNDIS
andbrowsing to Settings>Network.
To access the web interface through RNDIS, see theAccessing the web interface through RNDISsection.
Navigate toContextual help>>>Settings>>>Network & Protocol>>>IPV4.
Read the IPv4 settings.
2.5.2.2 Your network is not equipped with a BOOTP/DHCP server
2.5.2.2.1 Define from the configuration port
The IP address can be defined by accessing the web interface through RNDIS.
To access web interface through RNDIS, see theAccessing the web interface through RNDISsection.
Define the IP settings:
Navigate toContextual help>>>Settings>>>Network & Protocol>>>IPV4.
Select Manual (Static IP).
Input the following information: Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway
Save the changes.
2.5.3 Accessing the web interface through RNDIS
This connection is used to access and configure the Network Module network settings locally through a RNDIS(Ethernet over USB
interface).
2.5.3.1 Connecting the configuration cable
