RWARNING!
To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI),
broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the
VE-PG3 through the ground terminal.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a ground
terminal of an AC outlet or a long ground rod. Make the distance
between the ground terminal and ground as short as possible.
NEVER connect the ground terminal to a gas or electric pipe.
This may result in an electrical shock or cause a fire.
Setting the PC IP address
Set the static PC IP address (example: 192.168.0.100).
See the PC's instruction manual for the setting details.
Set the static VE-PG3 IP address assigned by the network
administrator.
Connect the devices to the VE-PG3 in order of q to y.
• Do not connect to the IP network before the configuration is finished.
• A HUB which supports 100BASE-TX or better is recommended. Otherwise, an unexpected failure of communication may be caused.
• The VE-PG3 can be directly connected to the PC using a MDI-X (crossover) type Ethernet cable.
The following procedures (q to e) describe how to access the VE-PG3 setting screen using a web browser.
Following the procedure below, set the VE-PG3 IP address according to your network environment.
• Do not set the IP address to one that is already used for another network device.
