Preparation for XRT web administration
In this section, we’ll introduce steps of how to setup a PC to communicate with XRT
through TCP/IP protocol conguration.
Before starting web browser to connect to XRT, please check TCP/IP congurations on PC:
the PC must be congured either as a DHCP client and or xed IP allocation on the intranet
or Internet. After ensuring TCP/IP conguration on the managing workstation, you may
connect to web administration page of XRT either from intranet, or Internet.
Following are guidelines of setting up TCP/IP congurations on different OS platform.
