Using the Control Utility
NOTE: The Presentation Player
works with the default settings, but
if you want to use the security
features or change other settings,
you can change the settings on the
Web-based Utility. To access the
Web-based Utility, open your web
browser and enter the Player’s
default IP Address, 192.168.1.200,
in the Address field. Press the
Enter key. For further instruction,
refer to the User Guide on the
Setup CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT:Make sure that the PC
is configured for the same subnet
as the Presentation Player. For
example, the Presentation Player’s
IP address is 192.168.1.200, so
your PC should have an IP address
of 192.168.1.xxx (the xxx represents
any number.)
IMPORTANT: Make sure that your
wireless PC has the same SSID as the
Wireless Presentation Player (default
SSID is WPG54G-linksys), if you are
using a wireless connection. Also, make
sure that your PC is set to the same IP
range as the Player.
